I hesitated for two days to post it here, as it might not be appropriate but... If we really are a community, I guess we must share the good and the bad too.
Last Thursday morning, at 11:30am, my father, at 77 years old, finally lost his 23 months battle against an oesophagus cancer. He's been fighting without ever complaining once, just like he led his whole life. Never a complaint whatever the situation was. He was buried Saturday morning.
My family is Christian, but we are not really the praying or going to church type, although we had a ceremony for my father. I'm saying that because I'm not asking for prayers, although they are welcome, but just a simple thought.
My father was the best loving husband, and he waited that my mother and him could have their 53rd wedding anniversary, the day before his last breath.
He was the best loving father for my two sisters and I, and sacrificed all his life to be sure we never were in need of anything. He was the hardest working man I knew, and the most passionate with what he did.
We're all devastated, and I'm going throught what possibly is the hardest time in my life. It is simply unbearable, but I know time will help.
I'm happy I could visit him almost everyday since he was sick, and that he could look me straight in the eyes and kiss me, the night before his passing. I'm happy I could help him and my mother go throught this.
So, to all the forum brothers and sisters, if you can, please have a simple thought for my family, to help us overcome the sorrow, and keep moving forward. The hardest part is yet to come I believe. Re-learning to live, without our father and husband, and never hearing his voice again. I'm sure the more people think about him, the more his memory will stay with us.
May he finally rest in peace, wherever he could be.
I love you dad.
