So, I didn't wanna say anything as that would sort of "make it official"...

But it looks like my dad's gonna be dead before the week's up. He's already going to be moved to hospice tomorrow or the day after.

Went to the hospital, wasn't worried. He didn't even seem serious this time, he was just a little tired. Didn't even wait till he needed an ambulance or anything. Now, he's not responding to treatment and he's never coming home again.

If I ever have kids he'll never meet them. Heck he won't even make it to see The Avengers and he's been looking forward to it for two years now.

Dude my deepest condolences. I went through a very similar situation and I know how heart breaking it is. There's not much to say and I know for a fact nothing will make you feel better about the situation. So I'll just leave it at best wishes to you and your family.

Also, this isn't my usual thing but I haven't really spoken to anyone about it as it's not really my thing but I wanna pay homage to my baby sister Sandra T. Lowe. She was killed out in Iraq 5 years ago yesterday. Rest in peace baby girl, you were better than us all.

My condolences, John. I can't imagine what you are going through right now, but I'll keep you in my prayers.

There are posts on this site that make us laugh. There are some that make us roll our eyes. But then there are some that literally shed a tear for.

I to lost my dad bout a year ago next month. I didnt even get to see him or talked to him before he died. In fact it had been 10+ years since he and I spoke. We were just getting in the process of talking again, when due to his lack of better judgement, was in a horrific car crash that not only took him, but my brother as well. Those hot rods will get you in trouble kids.

and then reading this right afterwards, just.....killed me inside. Call me Mr. Macho man or just some heartless asshole, but I have still not shed one tear for my dad. Today I did. My brother I cried for days. But not my dad. Thats for another thread.

Hold on to your loved ones. Be grateful for what you have. I know it sounds cliche but theres truth in it. Give the ones you love a hug, a kiss something, some kind of gesture of some kind to make them know you love them.

My condolences guys. I know how it feels and it still hurts. But I hurt for different reasons. Both of you will be in my prayers tonight.

I want to wish everyone my honest condolences for their lost loved ones.
I originally came in here to wish good will for someone I didn't truly know. A close friend of mine recently lost her cousin to suicide. Just wanted to say that I may never have met you, but for something to hurt you so much you took your own life I can only wish you're in better circumstance now.
That said I hope the same peace and love for everyone here and those that are no longer with them.
