Losing my Dad
Life is not fair, at all... My dad spent the last 20 years I knew him as a very healthy man. He was in the military, and was always going on jogs and doing push ups and always healthy! Nobody knew what happened. The last year, he spent his life in and out of the emergency room because he couldn't breathe.. his lungs kept filling up with fluids, and he was caught in the early stages of heart failure. He spent February-April in ICU... But come late April in to early May, he was doing so much better! He got to come home, plant some trees, climb stairs (he was on an oxygen tank 24/7) and he was always saying he felt good!
Until May 17th, he said he couldn't breathe again, and the ambulance was called... They did everything they could, but his heart just failed him. The defibrillator he had implanted in his heart didn't do what it was supposed to! ...it was so hard.
His birthday and fathers day are coming up, and it's just going to be so hard without him...

Cali,
I have also lost my Father in death and no words can express the hurt and anguish nor touch on how you feel and I'm sorry to read your heart aches with sadness but God shares your tears and gives you His love. When we lose someone we love the loss seems too great to bear.This Fathers day will bring back sad and happy memories. A comforting thought that I found in the bible says, Soon God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away…Revelation 21:4 I hope it will give you comfort too.
My deepest sympathy -

I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant... A little young to have a kid, and everyone told me I should abort... but I told my dad that I was keeping the child so he could meet his first grandchild. He said he would fight as hard as he could to make that happen... I'm so distraught, he will never get to hold my child, and s/he will never get to know their grampa.
