    lost my dad at the weekend :-(

    just thought id chime in. sadly my father passed away on sunday night. It was a very sudden loss.
    Ive lost my dad and my best friend
    having a better day today, so ive called a few friends which has helped, and just wanted to type some stuff on here (it sort of helps )
    I hadnt seen or spoken to him for about a week before he passed on, so i'm missing him so much at the moment - getting myself crying now .....

    Been supporting my mum and brothers a lot this week. My wife has been upset as she was quite close to him too. My son Bradley has been asking where grandad is - hes only 4 - we tried to tell him, but mainly that grandad is now an angel who is looking after Brad.

    Dad was always telling me to concentrate on my wife and son and not worry about him, i know hes right, but its hard. I know time will help, but i feel very up and down at the moment.

    Be there for your family and friends, work is just work - it helps pay the bills (if you really enjoy it, thats a bonus), if theres something you really want to do - do it, coz u never know whats round the corner.

    I know theres things ive been thinking of doing, and once things have settled down will look into things more and maybee do them.

    cant think what else to say at the moment

    dont feel like riding the bike at the moment, so i wont - but fancy a weekend away when i'm ready to have a 'ride for dad' - well see.

    you all take care of yourselves and be safe please................

    I feel for you Anton......

    My Dad had a long painful, uncomfortable, run in to his death. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, although it therefore wasn't a shock.

    What I'm trying to say (awkwardly) is that sudden death is hardest for the family left behind....that's the nature of it.

    Hopefully, when the shock is past it's worse, you can start to smile at the pleasant memories you have left.

    Look after your Mum.

    I'll stop the waffle now Anton.....My very best wishes to you and your family.

    Kevin.
