Yesterday at 3:30pm I my lost my dad - my hero and my best mate. The man who helped shape me into what I am today. The man whose opinion I valued above all others and whose approval I constantly craved. The first person I went to in times of trouble and the man who always seemed to know the right way to go about it.
Why have I come online to specifically log on to here to share this heartache I feel with people I don't know? I've no idea, but it's been a whirlwind 24hours and as I finally sit here alone with my thoughts, I just wanted fellow jacks to know that one of your own was taken from us. My dad has supported us since the age of 12. He adored The Swans with an unconditional passion that I can't describe, but I know plenty of you will understand.
I'm going to miss him so much it hurts. Thank you, goodnight and god bless dad - no more pain.
I haven't had a drink and I'm not sitting here with tears streaming down my face, I just felt like having a bit of a ramble, forgive me, it's not intended to depress everyone - just remember every day your mum and dad are on this planet it's a blessing.
Cheers everyone.

RIP SB's Dad.
Maybe you're here because sometimes you just have to let things out, you have to tell someone, anyone that you are suffering because somehow it helps and there may be people looking on here who know you, people who would share your burden.
Sorry for your loss. |  |

Very sorry for your loss. Its a very empty feeling. You will think of your Dad every single day of your life. Remember the good times . He will still guide you, as you will often do what you think he would have told you. RiP. |  |

If you are who i think you are, I knew your dad, indeed bought my first car off him in 1982. Top bloke. Respects and sympathies. RIP |  | | |

Condolences to you and your family.
You must think a lot of him, and yes its a hard time, stay strong as no doubt he would want you to.
Lost my dad 20 years ago nearly, though I often think of him, as you say they shaped us and cared for us.
RIP YJB |  | | |
