Just throwing this out there because, well- life happens… The calendar has realigned with dates falling on the same days as 5 years ago- and that is significant because yesterday (Sunday the 3rd of 2024/2019) was the last time I spoke with my dad… a regularly held weekend phone call. Tuesday of 2019 at 10:54pm I got the worst gut/soul stabbing call from my mom, telling me my dad had committed suicide. New chapter of life thus beginning. May you be at rest, dad. You were my best 72 year old friend. I miss & love you and thank you for everything you ever taught me. Love your 2nd son, Eric Give every family member a hug while you can, FHC!!!
Eric my heart still goes out to you. That was a terrible thing to happen and I know it changed your life. Keep your chin up. Your dad would expect that.
I had an aunt I was very close with all through my youth take her own life as a result of a terminal diagnosis from a brain tumor. It’s been many years but it just doesn’t get any easier. Brings a tear every time. I will forever remember that visit from my mom and sister to deliver the news. Deepest sympathy Eric.
Liked for acknowledgment only...but I stand with you in whatever it takes to continue on, with that huge hole left behind...
