Chin up mate, and make it a priority to celebrate his life as often as you can. All the best to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss, dag. My condolences. I know it's hard, but I hope you can find strength in your family and the great things you shared with a great man.

So sorry, Brian. His legacy will live on through your friends and family. Thinking about what you and your mother must be going through. He must have been very proud of you.

Sorry to hear, let us know if you need anything

Where my feelings are now is that death is a bad thing. A waste. It's like burning down a library of books that don't exist anywhere else.

With consciousness we're cursed with the knowledge that death is coming for all of us. If we're able to, we delude ourselves with religion or denial- but eventually all the books in the library get burnt to a crisp.

I'm with Aubrey.

So sorry for your loss dag
*hugs*

Take care chief

I'm very sorry for your loss, dag. I hope you got to say goodbye and make peace with what happened. If there's anything you need or want, you have only to ask.

I'm with Aubrey too. Hopefully death will be cured in our lifetimes.

So sorry for your loss, dag.

I like your father's picture; heroic and humble. I will honor your Dad by not taking mine for granted. May Comfort find you sitting in its favorite recliner. --qm

See, there's a good example - Chet Atkins, the amazing finger picking master - all his knowledge, skill and creativity is now gone. There will be no more new Chet Atkins songs - ever again.

Sorry to hear that . . .

Having gone through the pain of losing my father in a little less than 2 years ago, I know, I'm sorry. Your family will be a great strength for you as will your friends here and in the "real" world.

He lives on through you. Our mothers give us bodies our fathers ignite the spark. You look just like him and with you the spark is passed.

So sorry to hear this Brian. My condolences to you and your family.

Sorry Dag. All the best.

^Having "colon cleanser" spam on this thread actually made me laugh. This is why I love the Internet - it keeps you from taking things too seriously.

And what a legacy he has left. You're good people and I'm sure he'd be proud of that.

Sorry dag. You have the love and support of this great community that you have created. You bring honor to his memory by the way in which you have chosen to live your life.

I haven't had more than half a foot of attention in the sift probably since the beginning of summer. All I can offer is late condolences. I don't think I can say anything more eloquently than some of what's already been said here. Sorry for your loss.
