legally speaking, tomorrow

[sergebroom]

Legally speaking, the 15th anniversary of my father's death will be tomororw. To me though, he passed away on February 13, 1993. It was sudden, and he was revived after 15 minutes, but that's too long a time for a brain to still be that of the person one knew. Per what we knew of his wishes, our family did nothing to keep his body alive. I was far way when he first died. At least I got to say farewell to him in a dream.

I'm sorry Serge.

My dad died near the end of 1992. Strange, interesting coincidence.

I'm sorry for your loss, Kouredios. It wasn't easy for me at first, but that dream where I said farewell to him was when I was able to leave the grief behind. There are times though when I wish I could just talk with him, to reassure him that he was a good father. Stuff like that.

My sympathies. I lost my grandmother in 1994, and I still miss her. I am dreading the day I lose my father.

Just make sure that you say to him all the things that need to be said.

My sympathies, Serge.

My father died in 2001. I was lucky enough to see him twice in the last year of his life.

Thanks. And mine to you.

My sympathies as well. My dad faded badly over the last year of his life. We were told the inoperable brain aneurysm he had would cause a stroke eventually, and in August 1993 it did. He died two days later, and I still miss him.

We remain our parents's children no matter how much older we all get. My condolences.
