My sincere condolences--I just spent 2 weeks with my Dad as he recuperated from a hip replacement and it really brought home just how fleeting this lifetime is.  We should all make time every day for those who cared enough to bring us into the world and nurture us to self-reliance.

I was thinking of something to say that hadn't already been said, but realized that simple thoughts and prayers probably mean more.

The last few months have been tough for me but I have been able to spend some quality time with my Mum & Dad, which I think I really needed after living so far away for last 10years. I can't imagine losing a family member but it was something I worried about a lot in Japan...I really feel for you now Matt.

Any photos or stories you'd like to share?

There is no way to prepare for a loss like this.  The certainty of death is chilling.  But that is why God gave us memories.  I'm sorry that you can't hold his hand anymore, Matt...but you can still talk to him.

Hey TEO, I haven't been on here much at all recently but it makes me sad when I see a topic like this.  Prayers and thoughts out to you and your family, brother.

Thanks Guys! Your kindest sympathies mean more to me than feeble words can convey. I am taking some time off of work to: visit with family, listen to the music that touches my core (Jacket, Doors, Dead, Toubab, Heads, Derek, etc., etc., etc.), play with my dog, take long walks, hang out in my backyard, eat VT cheddar, take naps, and watch old movies DVR'd from TCM. I am more at peace now than watching the slow decline once he was hospitalized.

p.s.-whoever said drinking only masks and does not help fucking lied... ;) ;D

We shall have a drink and toast to your father on Halloween (if that's ok with you)

Still thinking warm thoughts for you and your family.  :)

One of my friends left 1 1/2 cases of ice cold beer on my doorstep yesterday. 24 XX and 12 Stone IPA's. Nice. Family gathering at Mom's today...Jake made it in from COMO!  :)

I'm glad you and your family are making the best out of a tough time. Sometimes death really brings out the worst in people. If only people could celebrate a persons life rather than focusing on the "loss". Hang in there buddy, your doing great :)

Just saw this Matt...I am so sorry for you and your family.

It definitely helps to drink and tell stories of your lost loved ones after they're gone. Remember the best times, have some laughs...that what he would want! Sounds like you've got the right idea!  :)
