This is terrible and I'm so sorry you're going through that. If there's anything you want to apologize to him about, do it now. As a dad, I can't imagine going through life knowing my son did or said something to hurt me and not getting closure. You'll both feel better after.
Spend as much time with him right now as you can. frick your job. There will be other jobs out there - now is the time to spend with your dad and the rest of your family.
Family first. Prayers to you all.

Hate to hear that. My dad passed away on August 3rd of this year. It still seems surreal.
Go spend time with him, as much as possible. I didn't get to see mine before he passed.

Him and I have a great relationship and talk often and openly.
He's known for a while now that he's not well and has already planned and paid for his funeral.
We've talked about death openly as he has seen many of his classmates and friends pass away.
I just don't know what I'm going to do when he's no longer just a phone call away. I'll miss hearing him gripe about "those damn Saints" His smell, his laugh and his crazy sense of humor. He's my dad but we've been like great friends for a long time.

That sucks and there isn't anything anyone can say to make it better. My dad died suddenly at work 11 months ago at 53 yrs old. Go spend all the time you can with him.
Posted on 10/22/15 at 10:57 am to NatalbanyTigerFan
Go see him NOW. Don't wanna think about going through this one day. Sorry man.

There's no way to sugar coat it - it will suck...for a long time. Over time, you never really get over the loss, you just get used to it.

I know this sounds strange, but talk to him, and record some of yalls conversation. My wife still listens to a few voice messages her dad left her just before he passed, and while they will hurt to listen to at first, it is always nice to have their voice around to hear every once in a while.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family though. Luckily (and I know that sounds shitty now) you have time to prepare for it some.

It's good that you have had some time to know that he wouldn't be here for eternity. I was only 18 years old when my dad passed, but he had health issues a few years earlier and I guess I had always in the back of my mind tried to prepare myself for the worst. The day he passed was completely sudden, he was at work and called home to tell my mom he was on his way driving himself to the hospital, but he pulled over on the side of the road and passed away before arriving.
Memories will always be there, and be thankful that you have had some time to make peace and prepare.

Sorry to hear this man.

Sounds like y'all had a great relationship and you should feel blessed by that. Loss is loss and it hurts like hell. I lost my son a year ago and would much rather have gone first.
One thing I know for sure thou, is that heaven is not something to be scared of and you will see him again. Heaven is so much better then this world.
My pastor at my church wrote a book about heaven after interviewing thousands of people that had near death experiences. It is on Amazon and called "imagine heaven". At some point in the future I recommend you read it. It has given me comfort after my son passed.

Sorry for what you are going thru. I lost both of my parents to cancer, and the last days were awful on them and the family. Best of luck thru this tough situation.

Get a few minutes of video or at least audio talking with him while he's lucid. HURRY.
