The Time Has Come And My Dad Has Passed.....
« on: March 04, 2014, 09:20:44 AM »


       He was still with us, when my Wife checked at about 2am and when I got up at about 7, I checked and I couldn't tell if he was breathing or not. So, I got Michelle and we realized that he had passed. So, anyway, we have called Hospice and the Coroner's office has come and the funeral home has come and gotten my Dad. Even knowing, is not helping. Then, to add to that, my brother's daughter (the one who called the Sheriff's Dept and Adult Protective Services on me) some how, found out (the Lady at the funeral home swears that my number is the only one she has and she will try to find out who called her. Anyway, I have already had it out with my brother's daughter through texts and she is REALLY throwing some crap out and she wonders WHY my Dad disowned them? Besides, my Dad has just passed and she wants to know the details of the service? Really? Give me a break! I am so mad that I could bite Nails in two!!!!!!!

       And I Love how she refers to being "FAMILY"!    Sorry, but this is just so typical my brother and his bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sincere condolences Bill, I just went through pretty much the same thing with my mother the week before Christmas. It will get easier.

Been through it with both of my wonderful folks, no fun for sure but much better with a good family support.  Hang in there and feel good you did your best and be patient with the others. Sorry for your pain.

So sorry to hear of your loss Bill. Thinking of you during this time. Take solitude in knowing you and your wife went above and beyond for him!

Bill I am sorry for your grief, it's a bummer, as for your father it was time, to push that envelop would have meant that he'd turn into less by far than what he'd been, so wish him well and a good trip and remember him in his younger days and decline, we all get there sooner or later.

Sorry for your loss. Ignore the crap, as you see we're not on this earth for long best to enjoy every moment... Sounds like you dad's spirit will be with you every time you lay eyes on and touch a bike. In that way he'll always remain.

Sorry to hear that Bill. It does get better with time. I feel for you on the family side of things my brother wasn't quite as bad as what you are going through. It is really tough when they can't support you during this difficult time.

Bill,
Sorry about the loss of your Father. He sounded like a great man that was indeed loved by many.
He went peaceful in his sleep.
That's how my sister did it in her sleep.
