First time without Dad ... 11/13/10

I'm not overly Religious but I want you to remember these words that we've heard a hundred times; If God led you to it, then He'll lead you through it. You were lead to fish that day, have faith.

I too am sorry for your loss. My Dad took me fishing as a boy. He passed almost 10 years ago, and my Mom before him. Now my next best buddy, my wife has "Terminal Cancer." We have fished together for almost 20 years. She may have two or less years here with me, but often, cannot get out of the house.

The loss of your Dad will hurt. Nothing anyone can say will take the pain away. Things the went poorly, as often does with a father and son, cannot be corrected or changed. Those need to be forgotten. Fathers love their children no matter what. The good times need to be cherished and remembered. Do not try and forget them or put them out of your mind. Those are what made you and what your father wants you to remember with joy. What has happened, was designed for you, just as what is going to happen is designed for others. Time will lessen the pain, it is normal to grieve your loss. We can try to be strong, but there will be weak moments. Do not be ashamed, they will help you to cope with the loss. Gradually, those times will be further apart and you will heal.

My freuqent prayers will be with you.
