My dad is gone

**Howler** · 02-02-2008, 08:03 PM

Tonight, athough I find it hard to find the words, I just wanted to drop a line and let the snowtrackers know that my father has passed away. Dad died of a massive heart attack while riding in the car to the airport with my brother, sister-in-law, and mom. They tried all that they could to ressisitate him until the paramedics arrived. I was called on my cell while they were working on him, and I will never forget hearing him gasping on the end of the line.

Many of you have met my father (fishfest), and I felt that he would want you to know. Hell, I don't even know if what I've typed is making sense right now, but I do know he's only been gone for a small time already, and I don't know how I'm going to move on. It hurts so much. I just wanted all of you to know that you need to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you every moment you can. I know that dad knew that I loved him, but I sit here regretting not saying it to him when I saw him this morning.

Please remember that we're all people in need, with feelings, and we all need to live with each other next time you post something that may offend.

I miss you daddy...and I'll never forget the things you've taught me....
