2nd Day With My Dad Being...Gone and Dead from this world

[gweneth_syeira]

My father passed away at the young age of 51 yesterday morning at Ebeid Hospice around 7:20/7:21am...it wasn't really him in the end. Just a body, a vessel, a submarine, a carrier. Everything that made him HIM was gone I think Saturday night, although he struggled to stay with us during Monday night

I was only a year older than you when I lost my dad. Even if it had been 20 years or 30 years later for either of us, we are never ready to lose someone we love so much.

Like I said on Facebook, I didn't know your dad nearly like I know you and your mom, but I am certain that your dad wouldn't want you to stop living, even for a little bit, because he's gone. He'd want you to continue training, continue learning, continue growing as a person.

Your dad is always going to be right there with you, silently whispering in your ear to never give up and to keep going. And when you watch the fandoms he loved, or read the books he loved, he'll be right there reading and watching with you. Embracing your own love of fandom will always keep him close to you in your heart as well. That is one thing I did not get to share with my dad, we were polar opposites in that regard, but there were other things. Your dad will always live on because you will remember him and those that loved him will never forget his presence.

*hugs*

It's never fair, but the younger they are, the more it hurts. I'm so glad you got to spend more time with him recently.

Ditto to what queenmidalah said, he'll always be with you. The surrealness of it all will eventually pass and you'll find your way.

*hugs*
