my condolences breh. it's tough losing a parent. i feel the same way with my dad as you and yours. sure we had our arguments but you know you can rely on your dad and he loved you no matter what. thats what its all about. sucks especially when it happened so suddenly. don't know what his health history was or cause of death or anything. hopefully he didn't suffer much. my dad went thru cancer which i don't wish on anything, but at least it was pending, unlike something so sudden such as your dad and others. at least he didn't have months of suffering but still painful to see a parent or loved one go. i know your mom gonna be distraught. especially with them being together for so many years. and she prolly be that way for a while. its been a little over 2 years since my dad passed and my mom is still distraught. even worse now that one of our dogs passed away the other day. the pain never leaves. us men are able to easily handle the emotions but a woman losing her spouse is very difficult for them. don't know how old your mom is but I'm sure she was gladly enjoying her retirement life with your dad and had lots of plans and things they still wanted to do and see. hopefully you, her, and the rest of your loved ones are able to get thru this tough time. keep focused and moving forward and making your dad proud. he's guarding over you guys now.
