    and I don't mean to try to mine the BBS for every last drop of sympathy, but here goes. My life has been completely turned upside down in the last day:

    I just found out that my father passed
    away of a massive heart attack this morning. He had
    been in fragile health in that regard lately, and I
    think my mother and I have tried to prepare ourselves
    for this. Still, you always hope you'll have more
    time with someone than you end up having.

    For those who pray, please keep this situation in your
    prayers, especially for strength for my mother. My
    father was a Christian; we have hope that he is being
    taken care of and we will see him again someday. He
    was a great person to know and inspired me in my
    career. I just wish I had had more time with him.

    Please, take care of yourselves and, if you need medical attention, go ahead and get it. He could have avoided this if he had gotten help earlier, but he just "wanted to get a few more things done at work" and put it off. He had a bunch of risk factors against him.

    This is going to be a kind of weird situation and I don't even know how to act... I just hope my mom pulls through OK. Give your parents a hug or a call today. I was worried about my dad's health last night and took some time out to talk to him; thank goodness... I just hate that we will not have those conversations any more in this lifetime.

    Thanks,
    Isabel

    Hang in there, Isabel.
    I went through the same thing with my Dad, although it lasted over 20 years and over two dozen heart attacks. You won't stop missing him, but the pain will ease with time.

    Whenever an opportunity comes up, I mention my Dad to my kids. They are never truly gone. They live forever inside us.

    Truly sorry about your family's loss, Isabel.

    If you believe like I do, his spirit will never leave you and you will see him again someday.
