My Dad Died last night.

Forums:

My Dad died last night, and going back over my old posts entitled "My Dad", there sure were alot of a$$hole responses, Im supprised me and this website are still friends. There were some nice responses as well, and I appreicate them as well. I have been a stepmother for decades and so hatred instead of support, kicking when someone is down is really rude.

75 years old, he was going to fly back to alaska, get his car and drive the alcan highway all by himself, so i got a ticket real quick, flew to anchorage, and drove back with him to the lower48. we had four days together and I pooped on the side of the road many times, because he insisted there would be a better gas station up the road, which there wasnt, it was always a few hundred miles more up the road, but I am so glad we got that time together. I knew it could be the last time I would see him because of the gradual alienation of him.

Remember his wife, the one who always hung up on me when I called him? well she called me last night and said he was flew by helicopter to the hospital and she was crying and driving, there is a language barrier because she speaks spanish and I speak english so I cant always tell what she is saying. She said he fell off the roof and is unresponsive and bleeding from the head. What was a 75 year old man doing on the roof after dark? She said he was installing solor panels.

If you decide to be an a$$hole instead of comfort me, remember that my husband and I are real estate agents, own multiple properties, with 19 working toilets (my dad always said a measure of your sucess is how many toilets you have lol he had 10) I live on the lake, have four businesses and my husband also does shift work in the factory, so I have my own money and money is not my directive for loving/ misisng my dad.

I am always have been very loving, kind to his wife, and I still will be supportive to her during this, while also giving her space to figure stuff out.

I would like to use my time on this site for troubleshooting, learning from experience, helping kind stepmothers, drawing strength, getting support from others who have been there, sharing my experiences as a stepmother, establish friendships who support me as a person, wife, mother, stepmother, stepdaughter, daughter, aunt, grandmother.

Thank you, Dawn, my dad had 3

Thank you, Dawn, my dad had 3 daughters that he raised in Alaska. we did all the hunting fishing clam digging camping, exploring that he would have done if he had had boys. We always had a boat and we were always getting stuck, breaking down, getting weathered in. I remember one time, a huge halibut hook went through the middle of his hand, it was bleeding and he drove one handed the boat until we got to shore to drive to hospital. I was a little girl and couldnt believe he wasnt crying

Very sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this right now! The world is full of mean people. Let's be kind to eachother where we can. -hugs-

I am so

sorry for your loss. I am facing the impending death of my own father due to kidney failure and I will always be his little girl. I wish in general that society was more supportive of other peoples hardships and grief instead of kicking people when they are down. Be good to yourself during this time of sadness.
