Sorry if this is not the usual but I just want to begin my own healing process. My Dad died Monday of sudden cardiac arrest. Hit him before he knew it and was dead in minutes. No previous heart problems at all....

I know we are all random people posting here from all parts of the nation (and world), but I wanted everyone to take a few minutes today and say "I Love You" to those close to them. My Dad and I were best friends and I have absolutely no regrets with my relationship with him. I am just sorry for my kids who never will get to know such a wonderful man.

Luckily, we got to spend all Sunday with him, so everything left with good thoughts and terms...

Thanks for letting me get some things off my chest and everyone should be thankful for what they have today as it may be gone tomorrow....

God Bless and may you rest in peace Dad....

Ever since I've gotten back on speaking terms with my parents, I try to call them once a week just to chat.

Sorry to hear about your father. 🙁
 
Yeah, it's weird that you mention this. Just lately, have I TRULY appreciated what my parents have done. I mean, I never really thought much about it in the past. But just lately, have I truly appreciated all the sacrifices they have made, and what a great life they have given me.

I used to yell and have these little argument spells over nothing. (Nothing abnormal, your regular little fights.) But I've tried my best to get rid of those, and just be more appreciative of everything.

I STILL can't speak too emotional to my parents. Hell, I wrote my dad an EMAIL once instead of talking to him face to face about those little "Kodak" moments. I dunno. Just me. I can't really talk about stuff like that easily.


EDIT: Sorry to hear about your father.

what is 'the nation'.. AFAIK, the internet spans across the world.

Jeesh, give him a break. Seems like the majority of people on here are Americans. Epinephrine, sorry to hear about your dad. Just a couple of weeks ago, my dad woke up and could hardly breathe. He had to be taken to the hospital... at first they said it was asthma, but now they say he has a malformation in the lining of his heart... It really has me worried. And it's so surprising, because my dad is only 44 and is in perfect health. So I don't really know what's happening... hopefully he'll be alright. He was kind of pissed that he wasn't able to go to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals because he was at the hospital, but he ended up getting to go to game 7 instead, so he was cool with that. 🙂
 
Thanks for all the kind words - Hang in there with your Dad and ask ALOT of questions. I work in Critical Care at our hospital and I know people are afraid to ask questions. THe funny thing about the whole ordeal is that, with all my knowledge and training, I had absolutely no control over the situation. No precursors to point at and nothing we should have done. He just simply died at the age of 58. It almost seems surreal at this point but that pain in my heart tells me otherwise....

Thanks again for letting me talk about this and work through my thoughts...

dood stop making me sad 🙁.
 
Truly sorry for your loss

My dad just had a heart attack a couple weeks ago, and would have died had it not been for my mom making him go to the hospital (he didnt want to go). He had surgery the day after and hes doing good now. Its scary to think how close we were to losing him, but thankfully hes quit smoking and has changed his diet. My condolences to your family and godspeed to your father.
