My daddy died from cancer in 2015 & I aint been the same since. I stopped giving a fukk about life, anti social, sometimes i go days, weeks w/o speaking to anyone. Still go in and out of depression but i'm getting better. Never realized how all my strength came from him until he was gone. He was the only person i ever looked up to or listened to, he was my everything :mjcry:

Respect the good & understand the bad
Both of mine have been gone for a number of years now. C'est la vie. Just gotta KIM :yeshrug:

My dad was never really around and died living in the streets. My mom passed from cancer so I at least got to spend some time with her before she died. I just wish she was around to had left more of an impression on my daughter. She was a great woman.

Luckily I have my wife's family, even as crazy as they are.

In two years basically it would be twenty years and I can't even say my father was alive for a fifth of my life because I did the math if I'm born the third week of January and he died the second week of May then I was really four unfortunately the worse part is all my memories of him are in mute and all the home videos we would film is you can't ever hear him and there's always a loud sound going over his voice I don't remember his voice at all my sister who was 1 and half probably doesn't remember him at all

To be honest it made me cynical in a lot of ways looking back peiplp tried to help but it never made things any better I remember my mother and I went to this kind of support group of people who lost a parent that was held at a church and it made things worse I remember they had us make a pillow with a letter to our dead loved ones and on the face of the pillow we got a picture of all of us together it hurt more

At the present time the things that hurt the most is the fact that he wasn't around for so much like my sister going to Prom or just me becoming a man like I have older cousins but like I've stated before when a man starts a family you got to move on because bthe have to be there for the family they created

My father was a provider in the truest since of the word and looking back he was too kind basically providing for his older sisters, his older brother, his friends, his cousins, his friends, his godkids, us, my mother, his Co workers

He would do this thing where he would look you in the eye and say " you good" while putting 200 in someone hands at the minimum

I got a lot of things from him some that has blessed me and some that had cursed me

My pops had lymphoma, leukemia and prostate cancer, I'm often get paranoid because I think I will suffer the same fate, we battled that shyt for five years, I know how you feel man ,,, When it first happened My dreams fukked me, because he was alive in dreams and I would cry in my sleep all the time, eventually you will get stronger bro, the only can tell you is try not neglect yourself to long and play a video game or something to take your mind off things.

Lost my dad in 2005. I was 12 years old. Never really had closure. Will get really depressed a few times a year. Since his passing my sleeping is completely fukked. I go months where I only sleep 2-4 hours a night.

Realized most of his siblings aint shyt. One auntie forged some documents and basically stole money meant for me and my siblings.

Also can't be around grieving people. If I see someone crying I freak out and have to leave the room / area.
