Life is too short
Wednesday, October 8, 2008

We've just recently lost Dave's dad to cancer. He was only 69 years old. Though he'll be missed tremendously, he's no longer suffering and is in a much better place now. This has been so difficult for Dave, he and his dad were so close, now there's an empty spot in our lives. Most people don't get along with their in laws, but I truely have been blessed to have such a wonderful man for my father-in-law. He was truely one of a kind, very strong in his religion, he'd drop everything to help others, even strangers. I'm not writing this for sympathy, I'm writing this hoping those who read this will realize how short life is, and how you need to let those in your life know how much they mean to you before it's too late. Fortunately, dad knew that we loved him and we were there for him. So, for those who go through life being bitter and non caring, please wake up and try to change for the better before it's too late. Life is way too short to be bitter and angry. And I would also like to thank all of our wonderful friends here for their kind words, thoughts and prayers. We truely appreciate all of you, and are so glad to have such wonderful people in our lives. Again, we thank all of you..........and as time goes by we'll heal, but we will never forget what a wonderful man dad was.

What a lovely post.  My condolences to both of you for your loss. I am happy you  have each other during this difficult time.  And, yes, you are right....tell people how much you care for them,  regularly.

All the Best,

My Dad lost his fight to cancer in 2005 after 9 years... the last six months he was confined to their house but NEVER had any pain, thank the good lord! When people came to visit Dad, which was daily they always commented to me or my Mother on how much better they felt after talking to him... he had a GREAT outlook on life everyday even though he knew the end was near. Dad knew he lived a great life and that's all any of us can ask for.

Life is waaaaaay to short to be bitter about ANYTHING you are right! Many people hold onto their anger for years for different reasons and it ONLY hurts themselves. Birth happens, life happen and we all know death happens at some point.

I'm very sorry to here of your Father In Law's passing... I'm sure he is a better man for knowing you... and you are a better person for knowing him! When someone close to us dies it makes us think of taking that chance that maybe at one time we might not have!

What a lovely post.  I hope you guys cherish the good memories and hold on to them and in time that will help you, and especially Dave, through this. 

I was one of those people you speak of, not so long ago.  Then I met someone who slowly was making me want to open up and who started making me realize that there were some people out in this world worth caring about.  On one cold February afternoon that was all almost tragically taken away... thankfully he was a tough S.O.B.  and fought like hell to live and so I finally get the chance to (hopefully) spend the rest of my life letting him know just how important he is to me. 

So everyone who reads this... life IS too short!  Those things we put off until tomorrow to say or do... remember, tomorrow may not always be there. 

My thoughts are with you and Dave (and all your family) 3some....

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad last year to cancer as well and of course I was devastated, I still can't believe it. My sincere condolences, I know how much it hurts. I also just lost a cousin yesterday, he and I were soooooo close for our entire lives. My only consolation is that I know he is with my uncle now and they have peace. Peace to you and Dave 3some.
