Kam -- I was so moved by your post...by your relationship with your father. He sounds like a tremendous man and a great father. I pray that after the pain subsides, you'll never stop smiling when you remember him. God bless you and your family, Kam.
I'm sorry for your loss Kam. My thoughts will be with you and your family. You had me crying at 8 in the morning. Watch the games and enjoy! I'm sure I'll feel the same way whenever my dad's day comes. He introduced the Rockets to me and it means a lot.
RIP Kam's Dad Sorry to hear of your loss, Kam. At least he's in a better place watching the Rockets on a comfortable recliner w/ unlimited beer!
sorry to hear Kam, i've been there. 3 years ago i had to give the ok to let my uncle go. he had developed jaundice with a bad liver and kidney. it was the worst feeling in the world.
OMG Kam, I can't stop crying! That was a truly amazimg post. My condolences to you and your family. I work at M.D. Anderson and I get to see these kinds of stories unfold on a day to day basis. Some are happy and some are not so happy. I hope that your dad went peacefully and I will pray a rosary for your dad and your family.
Sorry to hear it, Kam. Your Dad sounded like a great person and that was a touching story. I feel your admiration and respect for you Dad along with your pain. That's really sad. I want to go home now.
Sorry for your loss Kam. That post was a big tribute to your dad, man. Reading that just about froze me. Good job in writing it and an even better job in feeling it.
Thanks everybody. Thanks for the love, thanks for the kind words. I really do appreciate it. I kinda find it funny that this may be the greatest post i've made, but it had to come from bad circumstances. It's just one of those things. Again, I want to thank you guys very much.
My condolences Kam. My dad died not too long after the last rockets championship due to a tumor. I'll never forget watching and rooting with him for his teams to win at the highest level when he was breaking down. Which is why I'll never be able to "switch" from primarily being a rox and cowboy fan. You will never be able to fill the void that your father left. The best that you can do is remember what he did in life, good or bad, and use it as an inspiration to be a better man for your family and friends. anyway, good luck Kam. You seem like a cool dude and I'm sure you'll find a way to cope in time.
Kam, I'm very sorry for your loss. Sounds like you and your Dad were very close. A lot of people don't even know their Fathers so you are very lucky. He's in a better place now and you'll see him again someday. I'm taking my Dad (also a huge Rocket fan) to the Suns game next week. I, like most people, take it for granted that he'll always be there. After reading your post, I will try not to do that anymore. Not with anyone I love, for that matter. I will be thinking of your post while I'm sitting next to him watching the Rockets destroy the Suns.
Kam I'm sorry for your loss. I haven't read the whole thread, just your first post. Was the cancer Nasopharyngeal carcinoma? My mom was diagnosed about three years ago with it. The symptoms that your father had sounds very familiar to what my mom had. She has gone through all the chemo and radiation. Seems to have been cancer free for about 3 years now. Again, may thoughts are with you and your family.
Sorry to hear about that Kam. I almost lost my dad about 9 years ago when he had a heart attack out of the blue and I got one of those calls at 3AM. He recovered and is very healthy but its sad to know he's not always going to be there. Hang in there.
when i saw the title of this thread, I almost didn't read it. Not because I don't like your posts Kam, but because I thought it would be a trivial post stating something like your dedicating this season to your high school football team. When i did finally open and begin reading, it stunned me. i had to walk away and come back to finish it. I am very sorry for your loss and know that your father would be very proud of the way you seem to be handling this tough part of your life. As someone who has never met you or laid eyes on your father, I can tell you that my thoughts will be with you and he as i watch the rockets this season. That indeed is a tribute.
