Passing of a Titan [RIP Dad<333 (3.9.59 - 6.3.08)]
So this past week has been pretty damn hard with the passing of my father. he passed away due to a fatal heart attack, the night of June 3rd, 2008. My dad was the greatest man you could have ever met and you will never run into anyone like him. I guess that's where I get my uniqueness from? He was the coolest guy you would ever have a conversation with. He ALWAYS had something to say haha. Sometimes he would cause trouble at work, and I'd be the only witness to it haha, he was pretty mischievous like that =P I learned a lot from that man, and I'll always remember the things he taught me. Things like, how to sand and grind components for a project, or how to place a bet at the dogtrack haha. Most importantly how to live life to the fullest without having any regrets and to love your family the best you can. If you're gonna make sacrifices, you better make damn sure they count! My dad sacrificed so much to get his family around town and stuff since he was the only driver =/ I promised him that I would work hard so I get my license as soon as possible, he would want that. My older brother said he's gonna try to go for his license again soon. There was never a dull moment with my dad and anyone who hung around him for more than 2 minutes would know this for a fact haha. He was so lovable that most of our friends soon came to him dad as well. I mean c'mon, who wouldn't want to have a dad like I did =D The things my Dad enjoyed the most were fishing and going to the track to see the greyhounds run. I was thinking of taking him fishing one day, but as things have turned out, that will never happen anytime soon. Perhaps when I meet him again in another world, we can go fishing together as father and son. For now, all I know is that he's up there casting a line and enjoying himself. After all, he does indeed deserve to have some time to relax and hang loose after all he's done for us here on earth. We're all gonna miss him terribly I know that for sure, but I don't think anyone will miss him as much as the family he left behind will. My dad is just more proof that God does indeed take the good one earlier than most. I love you dad!
