I am not sure why I am writing this other then to help sort out my feelings at the moment...

My father passed away this morning.

We haven't talked much for the last 20 years. We have tried several times in that time period but it was like oil and water. We could never really tollerate each other for long periods of time.

He was a alcoholic most of my life that I knew him and it didn't help much with our relationship and believed it would be the end of him. I guess I was right.

He hadn't drank in 4 yrs and then over the last 4 days I was told that he started again while his girlfriend and her son were away. He had literally drank more then I have in the last 10 years. Probably even more.

I don't have really much else to say other then thank you for letting me share with you but in a way I am sorry... Too many damn change of feelings all at once.

Now he is a better place, state of mind, and position to play a positive role in the rest of you and your families lives.
 
Without him, we'd have no you.

I for one, am grateful............

Rest in peace, Pop............ Peace be unto you, Wil.

Sorry ............ we are here to listen :rock:
 
Sorry to hear this, I lost my Father-in-Law in Feb. He drank most of his life as well. In the late 80's he developed Hemachromatosis and became diabetic and even that didn't stop him. In 2006 it became liver cancer. Just take some time to yourself, sort things out as best you can. We are here to listen if needed.

Sorry for your loss, wish there was something to say to help, I went through the same thing with my old man last March. Just keep your head up, bro.
 
Seems that his demon (alcohol) got him after all. We all struggle with demons. Some of them are harder to fight than others and some of us win the battles and some lose. At least he can be at peace now. I hope you can be at peace with it.
 
Thats as hard a thing as Anyone of us will have to do in this life..Let God be with you and the rest of your Family as you move forward .ELC1
 
Just got back in, thank you all for your wishes and prayers... There is nothing stronger then family and you all have shown that and I really appreciate it!

It is a long weekend so I guess I won't have too many answers until Tuesday.

i don't have much else to say at the moment other then thanks again.
