Friday night my sisters and I learned our Dad died that night. We are in Utah and he is in Texas, where we used to live. Our brother in California was his emergency contact, not sure why. He told us. We then tried to get in contact with our Mom who lives near him, but it took a while to reach her. Our other brother who lived with my Dad thought he had to stay over night in the hospital for some test s or something since he has been having problems with his health or diabetes. My Mom walked over to where my brother lives and woke him up to break the news to him. We are still discussing what is going to happen. So far we agree to donate his tissue to whoever needs it, have him cremated, brought to Utah where he was born and grew up. We think that is what he would have wanted us to do. We will have to see when all this will happen and have all his children together and hopefully his side of the family too so we can scatter his ashes wherever we decide to do them. I am very sad about losing him. He would have been 62 on the 12th. Out of 6 kids, 3 boys and 3 girls, I was Daddy's little girl. I am heartbroken to lose my Dad so suddenly and this early in my life. The last time I saw him was the day before I left Texas, which was the end of April of this year. I don't know what I am going to do without him anymore. Last year I lost one of my Aunts and this year on the same day I lost my Aunt, my Grandma died. My Moms sister and Mom.
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost my father a few years ago and it was wrenching. The death of a parent is always so hard. All my best to you. Hugs!

Is there anything we can do for you?

Take care of yourself, girl. Losing someone like that is always hard. I hope that you are feeling well and sorry for your loss.
 
Big hugs!! You and your family are in my thoughts, I'm so sorry this happened.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss! He will always be with you and you will always be Daddy's little girl. *Big Hugs*

I'm so sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences. :sadpony: I've lost my grandmother a few years ago, and many pets in the last few years, but I think losing a parent is the hardest thing anyone ever has to face. I only have the one, so I dread that day more than anything else.
 
*BIG HUGS*
please remember to take care of yourself and that we're all here if you want to talk. so sorry for your loss. :(
 
*Big Hugs* to you and yours :(
 
So sorry to hear of your loss~ :sadpony: Massive pony hugs~

My dad passed away 2 years ago just about and I find myself wishing I could still talk to him, reminds me of a dream I had last night
 
Grief in the loss of a loved one is terribly hard to overcome.
My throat is tightening as I'm fighting back tears, I don't know of any words of encouragement that haven't already been said.

You need to make sure you take care of yourself to be strong for your family.
Be sure to continue to eat, and sleep, and mourn when necessary while trying not to allow it to consume you.
..just... :hugs: hang in there and may your family be safe in this time.​
 
thanks so much everyone. its still hard. there are times when i am alone, i see a picture of him or see something that reminds me of him or reading something about him really hits me. i am a very emotional person. i tend to cry pretty easy. i get teared up a lot whenever that happens. friday would have been his 62nd birthday, mine isnt that far away, just another week and a half. we all agreed to have him cremated on his would be birthday. now we have to wait to see when all us kids and whoever else can get together here in utah and find the place to scatter his ashes.

i wouldnt mind getting cards, pony art or even a raopk to help me through this. there are those who participate in the atc swaps who have my address they can give you so it will all be a surprise for me.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Lossing anyone you love is hard *hugs*
 
Late but, Im so sorry!
I lost my dad a couple of years ago in a car crash.
We are here if you need us *giant hugs*
