Sorry to hear that Dave, I have been down that path and it is a rough one. Just remain Built Ford Tough like your truck and you will make it through. As for the family, we had that issue when My grandfather died, his second wife's children came in and raped the home/estate. They didn't want anything to do with him after she had died, now all of the sudden they were interested... They have since been split off from the rest of the family.
Best wishes and thoughts.

Dave, I am so sorry, but you sound like you are at peace. I lost my dad a few years back on Thanksgiving Day and it is so true about adults acting like juvie delinks. I have seen it several times in the past from family and others. You did exactly what I did, they are not part of my life now. I do go to the reunion, but I do not speak to them, even my half brothers and sisters. I just could not figure out why people act that way. I really never knew my dad. We were seperated when I was young and was just getting to know him when his time came. Two years is not enough.
Just remember, you have your FTE Brothers and Sisters here. If you need anything, just shout.

Dad was set at peace today around 4:30. We are all just happy that hes no longer suffering or trapped in his body. I will be sending Joe the funeral arrangements tomorrow so if anyone wants to stop by please pm him. Also we are asking that noone send flowers but make a donation to the ALS foundation and i will have that address if anyone needs it.

pops is at peace. tell those "folks" to eat "crap" and "screw" off. you know what he wanted done, and now he is at rest and suffers no more. it's gonna hurt forever, but you did what he wanted, which is all you could've done. try to think of the good times and let this bs pass. you'll see him again on the other side.
keep your head up dave.
keep your head up dave.

Sorry to hear of your lost Cheeto. It brought back of a lot of memories of my Dad passing last April. We went up and down for 2 weeks then he decided it was enough. He had flat lined the night before he decided to be unhooked from the vent then came back. When he was unhooked from the vent he was just like there was nothing wrong. We all got to visit and talk for 4 hours. He told us how he had died the night before and how beautiful and peaceful heaven was, but they said he had to come back and tell everyone they had to get right with God before they died. He told mom he was going back to Heaven that day. We really had a good time talking, laughing, and visiting. He finally said he was sleepy and everyone said their good bye's. Mom and I held he hands as he fell asleep. He passed on later that night and I went back in one last time and closed his eyes. As the oldest in my family I feel responsible for Mom now and it has been keeping me busy. I do not have the problems with my family you do, I really hope and pray things work out you. Losing your father really takes the wind out of you for a while. Just keep up the faith and keep moving. God bless.
