It’s so crazy to think that 25 years ago today my father passed away. I was only 4 years old at the time, just under 2 weeks of turning 5 when he was killed in a car accident.
It’s just so crazy thinking that it has benn 25 YEARS 0.o I am depressed of course, but more so because I didn’t get to know him like my siblings since I am 10 years apart from the next youngest. I wish I could remember more about him.
Anyway.. I haven’t wanted to post anything too personal about it on facebook, but I just needed a little outlet I guess since there isn’t really anyone I can discuss it with.
Anyway, how is everyone else doing this 1st of October? Any happy news to share or things people want to vent about?

It will be (in a few months) 25 yrs since mine passed away to. I truly feel for you Many and understand the loss and the longing. I was 11 and it was one of the hardest days of my life. HE was a stubborn, gruff, WONDERFUL man. Even though he was a hard head and most people found him to be very grouchy he always had a Kit Kat bar sitting at the doorway when I came in for lunch and we sat and watched Perry Mason on TV for my lunch hour from school. HE took me for rides on his motorized scooter **WEEEE* and he always made me laugh with his gruff “I Love You’s” and hug as I went back to school. THough I do have a few memories of my Grandpa, anyone who gets to share many many years with their grandfathers are very lucky.
Thanks for reminding me and giving me back a few great memories from the past.
He will always be with you!Oh, drag0n, I honestly feel your pain. My grandfather died around the time of my birthday a large number of years ago. I think of him every fall around the time he passed. I think of him alot during the rest of the year, too. There were so many special, funny things he did that made me feel very special and loved.
We all know that time passes and passes quickly. When we love, we always will be acutely aware of missing out with that person. The other side of this, to me, anyway is that when we love and they love us they are always with us. In our hearts, minds, and actions. I hear his words often both through me and from other people. Sometimes from a very surprising source. It’s as if he’s always by my side for support and gentle help and advice.
Hugs and good thoughts to you. PM or email anytime. <3
Life is beautiful.
I’m not sure which is worse: not getting to know your father or watching him become someone else, knowing you’ll never be able to do the things you could with him anymore.
You have the first situation, I have the second…
I can’t say anything about your loss, to alleviate that void in your life. But you know what? The fact that you wish you had known him is probably one of the greatest compliments, because it means he was a great guy.
Hugs!

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmThanks everyone. I’m glad i was able to trigger some of your own memories of loved ones, both good and bad. It’s important to remember I think, even if it’s not all positive. I think people live on in the memories of others *nods* so my dad will always live on as will everyone elses loved ones. Even if I don’t have many memories, then ones I do have I will never forget ^_^

Heh… how about never getting to know your father because he became someone else.
I have just a single memory of my father’s blue eyes and big hands, we were horsing around and he was tickling me.
He passed away from a heart attack. Coke overdose.
Part of me will always still be mad at him for choosing what he did, over a beautiful wife and two little girls. It’s taken me years to become aware of how much his decisions have impacted my life and psyche, and counteract the negative aspects from that.
I feel for ya, Drag0n. Big hugs to you. Hopefully you have a few memories you get to hold on to. Those are special. 🙂 Sharing stories about your dad can be nice too, from people who knew him longer than you.
