BN27.. a lesson I have learned.. by doing it wrong too often...
Very similar to what AKAK said.. look around.. there may be people that really need your help right now
Make a pact with yourself to let yourself deal with this heartache at a later time...
Help others.. Mother, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, even your dad's friends.. they'll remember it forever
I wish I'd have either learned or been able to do this many years before I did...
I am the youngest of 17... and my parents were almost 50 when I was born... so I've dealt with it way too much...
I make a pact with myself to be the rock for now... and that I'll permit myself to truly deal with it at a later time...
which I then go off (maybe days or weeks later) and permit myself to lose it.. maybe along a waterway towpath area
works for me

Where I've screwed up royal is when dear friends pass... guys I've known forever... virtual parallel lives, kids, etc..
a number of times I got so consumed with my own grief that I forget how much those families needed me.. for quite some time.
I was relatively MIA... too distraught to remember to make a pact and help.. those families needed me...
Never did it consciously... just didn't enter my brain... distraught and miserable.. big regrets

Said a prayer for your Dad this morning... many similarities including 1954
and health engine lights are flashing... tough mortality check for me

God bless you and your family

My dad was born in Troy, Ohio in 1954. He graduated from The Ohio State University in 1976. He's my one and only connection to this team that I love. He took me to a game on campus in the early 90s, and that was all it took. I was a Buckeye lover from that moment on. Until then, they were my dad's team in a sport I didn't really follow. Now they're our team, along with my brother.

My dad passed away tonight. I miss him already. I love you, dad.

My sincere condolences on your loss. Having lost both of my parents I know the pain. Hang on to the memories.
