I Lost My Hero Yesterday.....

SweepEm · 05-28-2002, 01:38 AM

Some of you know that my Dad was ill.

I admire my Dad for many of his great attributes and one of them is his courage.
But unfortunately, he lost the last battle and he died yesterday morning.
For everything I am, it was my Dad that I am thankful for.
He had so many great qualities.
His death won't be reported on the news or in the newspapers as some famous people would be.
So, I am posting this here to share with you. Some of you I know, and some I will get to know. Others, I will never get to know but you all know me by my posts.

My Dad was very active in the community and church and was well liked. So, there will be many that will miss him.

I will miss him,
I will miss my hero.

God bye Dad.........

Nice post SweepEm and sorry to hear of your loss

I have spoken to many people who have suffered a loss like this, and have even had to tell people the news that a loved one has died.

Nothing can make up for the loss of that person, but time really does heal. One day you will look back with a manageable amount of grief,and an immense feeling of beautiful and joyous memories.

Deepest sympathy from the Bri Thai.

I'll say a prayer, if that kind of thing means anything to you. My most sincere condolances.

Roy Gaflaer · 05-28-2002, 03:58 PM

Sweep, I'm truly saddened by your loss. Words cannot express the sympathy I wish to extend to you and your family. Sweep, hang in there.

Your Friend,

Steven Kim

I know that there are no words that will take any of the pain away. Stay strong. Time will help. My deepest condolences.

SweepEm · 05-29-2002, 01:16 AM

thanks for all the kind words.

I am going through the most difficult time in my life right now and I have found how many true friends I have.

I am a lucky guy to have as many friends as I do.

If you measure personal wealth by the amount of good friends you have, I am one of the wealthiest guys around.

It is good to have had a father and a friend all in the same person.

Hey Sweep

Sorry to hear about your old man amigo.

My dad is battling cancer. I don’t even know what to say.

I’ll be thinking of you.
