re: For those of you who lost your father, how old were you when he passed?

I was 16. He was 48.

He was sick my whole life. Actually, he was sick HIS whole life. Congenital heart defect. He wasn't expected to live past the age of 15 so I'm super grateful that I got him as long as I did.

I miss him always, and even 20+ years later it's still so painful, but I'm thankful for the years that I did have with him because he was so much fun.

Try to make the best memories you can while he's still here, and try not to mourn him while he's still here. I know it's hard.

Sorry for what you're going through.

30. He was 52.

You’ll get through it. If he raised you right, you are about to step up and be the man.

My dad sucks a life and will most likely live forever.

I was 15.

I was 8. He was about a month shy of 38. My Mother had 5 chirrens, oldest was 16. If she's not in heaven, then I've no interest in the place.

14

I was 25, he was 59. His death was a strange situation. It was a few months after we lost everything in Katrina so that was a tough time. I’d take losing all my stuff over and over again than losing my dad, though.

I was 39 . He has suffered from Alzheimer's for 10 years . I would visit him once a week and leave depressed . I honestly thought of putting out of his misery several times . It was horrible and I just try to focus on the positives .

62.

I was 35 when my Dad passed away in 1995 at the young age of 56.
