Don't know how to title this.

[AKAK]

First I want to apologize for not posting this sooner, I find this to be a strange thing to do, though. And a couple people here have encouraged me to do this. Was reading some similar threads, Dubs, BKB's, Peaches and others, and well...

My father passed away this past Sunday, "After a long illness."

He was 61... and that makes me feel very old right now.

I didn't post this sooner, because, well... I've pretty much haven't been dealing with things. Thrown myself into work all week... that sort of thing.

And, I suppose its not going to help that there won't be a funeral, as such... but a "family gathering" next week...

Anyway... not gonna get into a lot of detail about him. For the purposes of this, though I can think of two things that are particularly relevant. First, I didn't always like my Dad, we didn't see eye to eye on a LOT of things, but I did love him, and will miss him dearly. Second, one thing we did agree on was love of the Buckeyes, and though he didn't go to Ohio State, he told me the day I graduated from OSU was the proudest of his life.... that and he really, really, really, fucking hated Michigan.

Seems like I should say more, but I'm pretty tired from thinking about all the stuff I didn't type.

Thanks for reading this.

why should you apologize? It's your life and your father...it's your business and yours alone if you want to post this or not...and when you want to post it. I have no idea why others "encouraged" you do to this...frankly it shouldn't be any of their business if you do or not.

I'm sorry for your loss AKAK. I don't believe there is anything any of us can say to make you feel better. I just hope that you feel a little better with each passing day.


RIP AKAK DAD. :(

Terrible news AK, my condolences.

 

[coastalbuck]

Well, if he was proud when his son graduated from OSU, and hated scUM. Seems cool in my book. RIP and my best to you and the family.

Condolences AKAK from me also. The passing of one's father is never an easy thing, time is the best healer for you, all the rest of your family and his friends.

condolences AKAK. surely these are difficult days for you and, perhaps, our prayers will help ease some of the pain.

I have a watch I gave my father, and on his passing it was returned to me.
It's for me even better than any picture of him.
AKAK find that little part of your father and keep it near.

You two might not have seen eye to eye on a lot of things, but you loved each other, even if you disagreed. That is a bottom line.

And now that I'm a dad, I better understand the indescribable love a dad has for his kids, even when I'm pissed and my teen thinks I'm the Antichrist. Even when he's busy not being able to stand me, I love him to death - and I know that he loves me.

That is the deal. Everything else is small stuff Akak. Take care man.

OK, who logged onto tibor's account and posted something honest and on-target?

Sorry to hear about your loss AKAKBUCK. Always try to remember the good stuff with your dad....
