Members LiveMusic Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Very sorry about this, Dak. I still have my mother, although my dad died and that was quite profound. To every thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted May 2, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2006 Gone to the next step. A good friend of mine's Dad died a couple of days ago. As we all sat around being there for him someone, who's own father just passed as well, said, "Gone to the next step". We all just nodded and agreed. I'm sorry for your loss Dak.

Members philbo Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Dak, So sorry to hear about your Mom. It's hard to find yourself suddenly orphaned, even at my advanced age.... both my parents died last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tedster Posted May 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 My own mom passed away in 2000. Although it was hard, I realized that she'd been in declining health for years, and that she was finally free. But, in retrospect, one of the hardest things was to be thinking of all those little things I would have liked to have asked her..."Mom, remember when we went on vacation when I was about 7 or 8 to that lake? Where was that?" That kind of stuff...and of course, now, I can't ask her anymore. For those of you who still have your parents, don't wait. Any time you have a little question, no matter how seemingly insignificant, for them, write it down. Then, next time you see them, get a camcorder and interview them. Pass the tape down to future generations. You'll be glad you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daklander Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 I want to thank everyone for their support, condolences and thoughts. It helped.Tedster, I love you man, and hope to see you again for some picking ang grinning. I originally had mixed feelings about your posting of something so personal but the love we received was so wonderful I'm glad you took the time to post. I couldn't make it back for the services and funeral due to a new chemo regime I can't break, and all the good vibes I got from all of you helped so much. Thank you all.

We're family here, Dak You lost a mother, but it's like the rest of us lost an aunt we'd never met. We're here for ya. And yes, I'm gonna try and get back there with my trusty ol' Guild this summer...and maybe we won't have a full band in the next room to compete with...

Members Ani Posted May 6, 2006 Members Share Posted May 6, 2006 Dak, Sorry I'm late, but read this and wanted to express my deepest sympathy! Losing a parent is probably one of the hardest things to do. I lost my mother when I was only 28... sudden and unexpected with so many questions left to ask. It's hard no matter how much life was lived or how much time was lapsed in between yesteryears and tomorrows. You know I love you guy and I'm glad that the folks here on SSS offered you comfort through a tough time; this place is stellar for that very purpose and compassion is one of the things that have always kept the SSS thriving. My condolences!!! Keep your chin up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daklander Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thanks again gang. Ani, I appreciate your thoughts. Nursers, I really do only have one chin. Cheeks? Now, that's another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
