Humans will win the War against Cancer sooner or later!

God bless your Father. He left to start another life knowing his Son Adam has achieved greatness in this life.

My condolences to you and your family.

My heart goes out to you on your loss.

I, too, lost my father a couple of years ago after the prostate cancer had taken over his skeleton.

Even though we know it is coming, it doesn't make it any easier when it happens.

Funny are the things that start me thinking of him... sometimes they make sense, sometimes I just go "huh?".

I'll hear his words coming out of me when I'm talking to my kids sometimes. I usually smile when this happens and realize I'm doing it right

The same type of things happen with others that I know that have gone through this so it will likely be similar for you.

Don't know what will do it for you, but one of the last conversations I had with my dad was about what he thought would happen for him when he passed on...

Not being a particularly religious man but very tuned in to spirituality and nature and having had a very successful career in the race horse business he told me this:
"Many good men have gone before me, I look forward to meeting up with them.
I expect I'll be met with some of my favorite dogs and Fighting Irish (a black Stallion we had many, many years ago).
So I guess I'll just get on Irish and ride off through the clouds with the dogs"

That's how I'll always picture it for him.

I'm sorry for your loss Adam. Please take comfort in the fact that he's in a better place and he's left knowing "he did his job" and died in peace and with pride with regard to the legacy he leaves behind in you.

MOURNER'S KADDISH and Psalm 23 sometime make sense in the times of senseleness

It will be a tough road ahead for a while Adam as thoughts of him will be constantly with you....these are good things....struggle through the eulogy if you can. It is important for others as well as youself to express all he was to you and those he affected around him.

Wishing you strength...

I wrote a decent eulogy, prooblem is I don't think I can read it without breaking down. :(

-=DCG=-

It's okay to break down Adam. Let it all out.

Look at you! Your father did a GREAT job raising a decent man that you are as I know you are doing a great job raising your kids the way he'd be very proud of.

I feel your pain. Be strong and celebrate his memories much as you can.

May the lord be by his side always.
