It is never easy to deal with the loss of a parent no matter what the circumstances, but the suddeness often just leaves us in shock. I had a friend lose a father in similiar circumstances to you and she's really had a hard time coming to terms with it. Life challenges us for sure, but luckily our support systems help us through.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441313713715572662.post-17393677502305140712014-09-11T07:56:28.548-05:002014-09-11T07:56:28.548-05:00Thank you.Thank you.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441313713715572662.post-60437628579247253972014-09-11T07:56:10.478-05:002014-09-11T07:56:10.478-05:00Thank you.Thank you.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441313713715572662.post-22623945091817320302014-09-11T07:55:56.108-05:002014-09-11T07:55:56.108-05:00Thank you Kate.

He had stopped by a friend's to see how her grandkids were enjoying the swing set that he gave them and had a massive heart attack. He had all the warning signs and did nothing about them. I am still angry but I have started to enjoy doing the things that I always liked to do with him--like attend car shows and festivals. He was a collector so his legacy is big, bold and in front of you in the form of cars he has collected and built over the past 20 years. I told my mom that at least I could shrink wrap her quilts and stick them in a closet until I could figure out what to do about them! <br /><br />I am an only, so that simplifies and complicates everything. <br /><br />My thoughts are with you now and as you work out what to do with your dad.
