I would like to thank all of your for your insightful thoughts and support. This forum helps keep me sane when we are at sea for long periods of time, and now that I am in a time of need, you all are there for me. I can't thank you all enough.

I am also sorry for your loss. It sounds like like you have some great memories to hold to. Hold on to them. It's been 28+ years since my Dad's early passing and I am thankful for the time and memories that we shared. He made me a basketball fan. It was his passion and just another sport for me. I now watch a lot of basketball and feel he's sharing it with me.

Bob,
What Reg said beautifully. Hold on to your memories. They will probably hurt at the beginning. But after some time, we sherish them.
I lost my fathers 18 months ago. I still hear his voice.

At first it is painful to think about them, then, after a time, it feels comforting to have them traveling life's journey within you.
Howard
Bob, what Howard says is very true. I know what he is saying as my dad passed at an early age as well-he was only 46; that was in 1973, I was 14 at the time. I try to think of my dad this way too, that is is on the journey with me.

My condolences again at this difficult time.


Pete
