Prayers to you and your family, Terry. It's a rough time indeed. Be thankful you have all of the wonderful memories, I know I sure am with my dad. He started taking me trapping with him when I was 18 months old and we spent countless hours in the woods together. Finally, last year at age 88, he decided he couldn't get around well enough to continue hunting, so he divided his weapons between my brother and me. It was SO difficult for him and us, but we still have the memories.
Cherish them!

Condolences. Lost my dad to alzheimer's... we were in business together. He was a mentor and great friend,still miss him.

It's difficult at times even witching my parents age. I don't want them to be gone. I'm very sorry for your loss Terry. Time is a gift. 

Sorry for your loss, but envious of your relationship. I love my dad but we have almost nothing in common, although he did take me rabbit and squirrel hunting and fishing some when I was young he was too busy working to provide for us to form much of a relationship. So, cherish the many  memories you made together.

Thanks Terry, for the update and the apology.  Takes a lot of courage to travel the path you've been on.  I respect you for the way you've traveled.

Remember - 'It will be alright in the end - if it isn't alright, it isn't the end'.

That is a tough battle and loss for you... I'm sure your dad is at peace now.
Blessings,
Randy

Every boy needs his Daddy, sounds like you had a great one. Sorry for your loss.

It is so sad for you to lose your father, and for your girls to lose their grandfather. If there is anything you need, just call.

Prayers for you and yours.

Terry, you and your family are in my prayers.  I lost my mother a year ago April.  God speed to your father.

My dad got me and my brothers into hunting and fishing, including archery when i was 14. He had a stroke when I was in the Army and 21. It affected his brain and personality more than physical. He was never the same man we knew.
I too feel your loss.

Terry, as you know there is nothing anyone can say to relieve your pain. The pain is real and is going to be there as time heals you. I lost my bride of 47 years 3 months ago today.  I teared up when I read your post and am crying hard now.  I pray everyday for healing and will ad you and your family to that prayer.

Prayers sent for you as well Jon. I can't even imagine the loss you must feel.  God bless you with comfort and healing.

No Words Brother,  Just Prayers....

Terry - been off the site a few weeks and just saw your Dad had passed. Very sorry to hear that and will keep you and your family in my prayers..I lost my Dad about 15 years ago and it was a tough time...We did a lot together and I still live on the property we shared. I still see little things he did on the property - just simple things but they make me think of him often even though its been 15 years. It sounds like you've got some good memories and thats what we have to focus on...I feel confident that one day we will see our parents and other family members in heaven and that gives us something to look forward to.....Time is the great healer and even though you will always miss him the pain of the loss will lessen in time...Hang in there and know we are thinking of you....

I am sorry for your loss Terry. In the end, our collection of memories can never be taken away.

Your testimony to everyone here has given your Dad the greatest honor of all.

May God give you peace in knowing how blessed you have been for having him as your Dad.
