45 years of not talking to your dad?
Some guys get all the breaks.

Its a weird feeling. I wasnt that close to my dad, but when he passed away all the times I missed with him became so important.

RIP in peace.

My dad died last year. He used to call me every afternoon around 4. If my phone rings around that time I automatically think, "there's dad," until I realize it isn't going to be him.

Were you a child when he passed?

45 years is a lifetime, and I bet there are days where it hurts just as much as it on day 1.

Buddy of mine lost his son to cancer last year and he has said that everybody tells him time heals everything, but the more time passes the more he misses his boy and it just makes his grief harder. That always stuck with me.

Makes me thankful to still have my dad around. Not looking forward to the day it does happen, assuming I don't pass before him.

Sorry OP.

Losing my dad was the worst day of my life so far.

Hang in there brother. Im sure he would be proud of you. I am going on 6 years and it feels like yesterday sometimes.

My dad and i are very close. As i get older and watch him get older i find myself wondering when this day will come for me. The passage of time sucks.

RIP to your father.

You seem like a cool cat, baw. Give credit to your pops for that and appreciate the memories.

I'm sorry for you because I know how you feel. My dad passed away September 6th of this year. If I make it to my dad's age, I will have lived my entire life up to this point over again. It's scary to think about living so long without my dad. I know he wouldn't have let me, but I would have traded places with him faster than I can blink my eye. I love you, Dad.

Lost my dad in 2001, I was younger then, but I still find myself asking if he is proud how things turned out.

Lost my mom two years ago, hardest day of my life. We were in an accident together so I have this guilt that I was responsible for her death. I was a mommas boy too. It's brutal living every day with a feeling like you're the reason she's gone. It was an accident, there was nothing I could have done, but that still doesn't help.

Last month we lost my 18 year old nephew. The pain of losing him is hard to describe. He was my sisters whole world, I honestly don't know how a parent goes on after that. With my mom, we were at least able to say she lived until she was 70, and she's not in any pain any more. We took comfort in things. Losing an 18 year old child. Man. There ain't much to take comfort in. He was in his first semester of college and had the world ahead of him. Life just isn't fair.

Sounds like he was a man worth missing.

It’s hard to lose people, but it would be even sadder if you had nobody that loved you or you loved enough to cry when one of you is gone.

I miss my daddy too.

My dad died young from pancreatic cancer after spending his entire adult life as a raging alcoholic. My wife pointed out to me that in one month I will be the same age as my father when he left this world. I was caught completely off guard when she hit me with that fact.

So my mom recently passed away and I am struggling to find a good gift to get my pop. I want it to be special. Any ideas are welcome.
