I Miss My Dad

I have been feeling lost and alone lately and turned to the web for some help. Much to my surprise i found this site as a place to leave a message about a lost loved one. In this case it's my Dad. I call him that because Father seems so formal, he was to me a Dad. He was real and I loved him.
On Dec 31st 2001 at 3:15pm Dad passed away after a short but deadly battle with cancer. Six weeks was all it took. Just six weeks. Really it happened all too fast, and I am still getting bits and pieces of my memory back, as the shock and horror of it left me with a case of short term memory loss.
I don't want to get into the details but in the end it was the drugs that killed him, not the cancer. Without those drugs he would have suffered terribly and what for? The pain from Cancer is like no other, and we all agreed that he should not suffer from this disease, even if it meant he were semi conscious and in the end totally unconscious. He spent three days in bed, and then he was gone.
My dad was a huge part of my life, my wife and i would visit Mum and Dad every weekend, and sometimes during the week if time permitted. I am 37 and the loss of my Dad has impacted me in ways i never thought imaginable. Dad was a freind, an advisor, a person to look up to. I would call him when my wife and I got a good deal on something, or when our business took a positive turn. Dad loved a good deal.
It's been two months since he died, and I really miss him.
Bye Dad, I love you, and will see you again when it's my turn
