   Love you, Dad
  Yesterday, just after I got home from work, and at around 4:45 pm, Larry D. Heath passed away at our home.  Dad served in the Navy during Vietnam for four years, and then worked in the auto parts business for over thirty years.  He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma over two years ago.  He just turned 58.Well done, Dad.  Well done.   
  My condolences. 58 is a bit young to die, and I'm sure you feel the same. At least you seem to have had a good relationship with your Dad. That is where it counts.   ;  My condolences to you Benjamin.On 29th April last year my dad died in the evening minutes after he and mom came back from her job. I wasn't even there. He was 64. It had been a rough time and I had come back home after 3 years living alone and we were not getting along too well until I came back and that same day he was saying how happy he was that I came back and that I was doing well. It was a big shock, we were getting along a lot better. At least he left without worries and doubts. It's not easy but we have to remember and keep going on. Like some say, life is a show and the show must go on. Remember everything he did for you.;  My condolences to you and your family :(   ;  The way you say "Well done" tells me that you're proud of his achievements in life. I'm betting that your pride in him is not half as he feels for you, his son.I hope you and the rest of your family are holding up well and are celebrating his life.   ;  My condolences, Benjamin.I'm glad you two were close.   ;  My heartfelt condolences to you and yours. As others have said, it's hard to lose a life, but at least once the grief has passed you will have happy times to look back on. It sounds like he made sure to live his life rather than just observe it.I hope he can rest in peace.   ;  Condolences and congratulations. Condolences on the sad passing of your father, well before his time. Congratulations on his life, well lived and surrounded by people he loved and inspired.   ;  I am very sorry to hear this Benjamin.  Thoughts go with you on this day.  I am sorry.   ;  My most heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.I wish I had done something like this when my father passed, it would have been a great way to get my feelings out in a time when I didnt have anyone to share them with.  My father passed in May this year, we didnt have a good relationship and it was a bitter time for me.  I have since come to a point where there are aspects of our relationship that I respect and hold on to, and Im able to let go of the bitterness.Without hijacking your thread, my point is that I can relate with the feelings Im sure you have, and while our stories are certainly different, its quite an accomplishment that at a sad time your able to proudly speak of him with such high praise like "well done"Good for you.  I know beyond a shadow of doubt that he's probably thinking the same of you.
