My father died last night.

Sorry for your loss Bisket. Losing a parent and the feelings, emotions and memories that flood back always is hard to describe and different than I expected. Lost my mom a couple years ago in December and in the past year I have noticed my dad starting to slow down a lot.  It’s really hard for me to imagine when they will both be gone.

Sorry for your loss.  I lost my dad when I was 16.  I doubt it is any easier at an older age.

Same.  Still think about him every day.  But it's almost always the good times at this point.

Probably. But I still wouldn’t ask him, or anyone else on this board, to write one for my mom.

That's what public restroom stalls are for.

Brisket,

You're one of the people on this barge of reprobates I'd most like to treat to a drink IRL, and I've no doubt that is in no small part due to your father's love and guidance even when you - like most of us - wanted nothing to do with it.

Having read your posts for years, I also have no doubt that you have done the same for your kids; you and your wife are to credit for that, of course, but your parents also live on through that and through you as well.

I lost my Dad - damn - 38 years ago, and Mom nearly 10 now, but they are always nearby even though I can't ask them all the things I wish I still could. They still bring a smile and a sense of warmth to me, as I know your Dad forever will to you.

Thank you for what was a beautiful eulogy, and for reminding us of our own fathers, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yours was heavily tilted towards the good. Be well, take solace in your memories, your family, and the good man he helped you become, and I'll see ya out on the ledge now and again.

(Jeez, man, I can't follow your post and South Austin's! SMDH.)
