I was reading an earlier post about seeing their father's vehicle in the driveway day after day since his passing. I can relate to this since he was always home before me and seeing his truck just parked in the driveway knowing he I wouldn't be seeing him when I walked through the door was tough to do... Subsequently, one of my favorite new songs is "I drive your truck" which tells a similar story.
Judy,
That is a terrible way to lose your Dad. I am so sorry. But what a fond memory to cherish. Take care and God Bless.
Stephanie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain you are talking about. My Dad passed suddenly Sept 2012 and I can't believe how much it hurts. I just want another hug from him. Sometimes it doesn't seem real and I can't believe he is gone. I have recently told myself that it is ok to be happy and feel joy even though he is gone. This had made a big difference for me. Oh, I still cry uncontrolably and at anytime but I can now allow myself to be happy. He wouldn't want me sad all the time because he isn't here. He loved to have fun and joke around. Today is his birthday and I am doing well. I went ot see him yesterday and shed many tears. I even went to look at headstones as a birthday gift for him. I know this sounds strange but he understands and I'm sure appreciates my gift. Hang in there and God Bless you and your family.
The Last time I saw my dad , I was barely starting out as a teenager. My sister just graduated from Junior High School. My parents were separated but decided to get together for the celebration , so the four of us spend the day in N.Y. City Central park. It was the first time we saw our parents together in a very long time. It was actually about ten years since they spend some time together. I remember it was a beautiful sunny day in June . We had a great time that day in the park . Everyone got along well that day. It is still a fond memory for me even after all these years. At the end of the day we had to go home in different directions. I lived in Brooklyn with mom and my Dad Lived in the South Bronx. I will never forget how we said our good- by's and I watched my Dad walk away in the opposite direction leaving the park. He was headed for the D train . For some unexplained reason I kept looking back at him watching him walk further and further away from us. I couldn't stop myself from turning back to see him ! Little did I know that would be the last time I would ever see him again in my life ! About a week or so later he was mugged in his own apartment on July 4th and shot in the head ! He lived for about another two weeks in a coma and then died when we were in the hospital visiting him! He was probably being watched by gang members. They decided to act on July 4th because it was so noisy from the loud fire crackers they felt confident it would muffle the sound of the gun fire ! My dad's killers were never caught ! But I do believe in God, so I am sure they will get what they deserve or probably have by now !
