Kelly the Dog Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Speaking as a dad, I hope you take some small measure of solace in this - whether or not it was in your dad's nature to express it to you, there is nothing in a parent's life that brings as much joy and pride as children, and what sacrifices may be necessary pale in comparison. Your life contributed to fulfillment of his, and your good deeds will continue to reflect well upon him. 301647[/snapback] Well put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPJax Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Sorry to hear this Ramius. My father passed away on Jan. 16th, 2002 of the same type of Lymphoma after a ten year battle with it. He was a very young 78 at the time, a wonderful father and husband, and I still think of him daily. Parents are the one unconditional source of love in all our lives, and there is no way to be prepared for their loss even if it has been anticipated for some time. I miss just being able to share the simple things, like talking about the Bills, or just being able to share a hug. My dad just made everything in my life better. There is no way to tell someone how such a loss feels until you unfortunately have to experience it with your own family. The pain from the loss will eventually get better,but we can never forget the love they added to our lives. My prayers are with you, and I hope to see you in th chat room some time this year during the upcoming season. Hang in there, do the best you can, and remember, he will always be a part of you.

Stevie Ray Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I feel for you and sort of know what you're going through. My wife was diagnosed last year with ovarian cancer stage 3. It was a rough year for the family and thankfully she has made it through with surgery and treatments, but the specter of recurrence hangs over us daily. How I hope to God that someday soon there will be an end to this dreaded disease. My thoughts and prayers are with you buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 You are going to miss him, Ramius. I lost my Dad to cancer (also a fighter) last May, and I still feel he's with me. Great book for a few months from now is called _Swallowed By a Snake_. It helped me immensely in the past year. Peace... Astro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Its taken me a little while to get on here to post, so Ramius, buddy, you know anything you need let me know and I'm there for you. If this requires me wearing a bills jersey and singing that blasted song at the top of my lungs, so be it. Anything you need bud, let me know. thoughts and prayers have been heading in that direction for some time now, and will continue to do so. From what I know of your Dad, and what I know of you, I know there's a booth up in heaven where your Dad and the Pope are sitting having chicken wings and he's teaching the pope the greatness of Jim Kelly. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
