i've got another deep one kinda on this topic:
my parents were divorced when i was 12. i stayed with my mom. she got everything. she worked 60-70 hrs a week & i never saw my dad for about the first 5 or 6 years. it took me moving out & going to college 100 miles away for us to reconnect...i'd stay with him when i came home for weekends.
he had heart problems (4 heartattacks). he died when i was 22 (1992) & i was in the icu his last night (heartattack #4) & even though he was heavily sedated, i got to tell him i loved him & he squeezed my hand. he died 4 hours later.
when he died, i was actually happy.....he wasn't the same person the last year or so. he was always a wild person. really into cars & actaully hung out in town w/ people my age street racing & shit. people were always amazed to find out he was my DAD. the last cople of years of his life, he was mostly homeridden cause he only had 30% use of his heart & couldn't even goto the mailbox & back w/out stopping to catch his breath. that's why i was happy when he died...for him not me.
i think about him alot & people that knew him well tell me i'm just like him which makes me smile inside but also makes me a little sad, too.
i have to stop now cause my hands arrre shaking & i can't type anyy=more
That's terrible. I am sorry to hear about your loss. My fiance is going through the same thing with her dad and his heart right now. I am really tired of people dying that are close to me.:sad:
