8 months - I never knew my biological father.
My step father and I had a difficult relationship - but it made me a better father to my kids.

Dad when I was 32 and my wife was 6 months pregnant with our first child, who was a son. I was the only son of an only son, so the fact that I was able to tell my dad three days before he died that we knew the sex of the baby was both great and heartbreaking.
Lost my mom when I was 5. Bad medical advice back in the mid 70's sent her home from the ER with chest pains with advice to go see her primary the following Monday. Never made it...
Happy Monday, ya'll!

I was 28. He was at the end of a long fight with cancer at Baptist and the Saints were nearby winning on MNF.

I was 34. He died suddenly at work of a heart attack 11-24-2014. He was 53 years old. It will be two years on Thanksgiving day but it seems like yesterday. It gets easier but it will definitely never be the same. My younger brother was 25. Worst part is being reminded of the event everyday since i still work in the same office where he died.

ETA: Watched him die laying in the garage. We lived out in the country, ambulance couldn't find our house for 30 minutes.

Also 39 and mine passed earlier this year. I try to look at the bright side that we had so many great years together but it can also be hard at times.

My dad died in December of 81 on a motorcycle accident. I was born in March of 82. I've never seen him. It's weird because I don't think there is a day that has ever passed where I don't think about him. I have 3 boys now and want to always be there for them. I want to be the dad that I didn't have growing up. I have a step dad now and he is great.

I was 19 when my mom passed, 2 days before Christmas. I was a freshman in college and had just finished my first semester. It was due to an accidental overdose of anti-depressants and sleeping pills (several of her medications caused short-term memory loss, and the doctors all concluded that she had forgotten she had taken her medicines and took them all again). This was the hardest thing for me - that it was avoidable to a degree (although I knew that due to her conditions and mental state, it was only a matter of time). To combat this anger and disappointment with the cards I was dealt, my second semester consisted of meaningless relationships with women, one after the other, as well as copious amounts of alcohol.
I grieved in my own way, and realize now that it wasn't in the healthiest ways. That being said, it will be 7 years this Christmas, and that makes it very hard - the happiest day of the year for most will be a constant reminder of the most trying day of my life so far. But as cliche as it sounds, that happening that early on in life coupled with me having to mature and grow up way earlier than most due to her sickness during 90% of my high school years, I wouldn't be who I am without those moments forging my mindset.
