Happy Birthday h0zDad!!!!!
What did he pass away from????? (Don’t reply if ya don’t want to)
Ischaemic heart disease..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischaemic_heart_disease
he passed away exactly 3 weeks after his 50th (went to bed and told my little sister (17 at the time) that he wasn’t feeling to well after working in the garden and said he wanted to lay down for a while).. I came home from work and knocked on his door.. By my sister said he was asleep.. So I left him..
woke up in the morning to mum screaming to call an ambulance because he wasn’t moving ( mum and I both tried to wake him up.. But he was cold..) when the ambulance got there they said he had been gone for hours.. None of us knew he had it.. Not even him.. He was so fit as well.. (worked as a carpenter) we used to mountain bike ride 2-3 times a week.. He rode his bike everywhere. (lost his license 6-7 years before and never bothered getting it back..) used to do yoga all the time too.. Hardly ever ate any junk food and very very rarely drank.. (they said if he want so fit it could have happened 10 years earlier..).
I just get upset because I have so much “unfinished business” with him.. Because he was there.. Then the next day he was gone..
I haven’t been too bad today.. But I know on the anniversary in 3 weeks, I will be a huge mess..
Emotions are good. Let them out Holly.
Deepest love from spaz (who is a dad).
Expressing your feelings shows the importance of what his life was worth.
The love your showing is resonating throughout the universe and it makes him joyous.
Thinking of you h0z. I think being able to express our emotions is far better than bottling them. Sending love your way, xx
Wow, that would’ve been very traumatic for ya, h0z!!!!!
I hope ya can focus on the things and the times that ya had with ya Dad, instead of those that ya feel as though ya missin out on!!!!! It would be pretty hard for sure, but I’m pretty sure that’s what he’d want ya to be doin!!!!!
If ya gonna shed tears for him, make sure they’re the happy ones!!!!!
Like Spaz, I’m a Dad ( and a Grandad now ) and that’s what I’d want if/when my family’s in that place!!!!!
:thoughts are with ya smiley from mizu:
I’m gonna go have a cry for you right now h0z then give my daughter a phone call.
and my dad to tell him I love him.
Thank you Mr h0z and your beautiful daughter.
Aww thanks so much guys.. you’ve just put the biggest grin on my face… ( a few tears too… but the massive grin is what counts..) lol. My sister and I are going to surprise mum at work for dinner and cheer her up! (her and dad started dating at 16…so this has been insanely hard on her) every time I ride my bike I think of dad… I couldn’t ride it for a while because I would tear up… ( he brought it and did it up for me.. ) now Mr.h0z, my uncle (dads brother.. who we gave dads bike to..) and his house mate go for bike rides every now and then (dads brother and sister live next door to us.. his brother in the house and his sister in the flat out the back - we are a pretty close family)
As I say to my friends when they break up with partners.. ( same principle applies) “don’t cry because its over, smile because it happened”.
Right on h0z.
Spent 30mins chatting on phone with daughter, struggling to get hold of dad (he will be at the pub), preparing to cook dinner for mum and step dad (who I live with in the granny flat) - our family is also close including dad and mum. I even had a pleasant chat with my daughters mum (who I still consider as family).
I did sit out the back and shed a few tears in the name of love, family and the times you had and long for with your dad, they were beautiful tears that felt good and real, and was an unexpected emotional release.
Aww sorry to hear, h0z… Losing your dad, that would be horrible 
Lucky you though, you’ve got lots of good friends here for you now, and in other places I’m sure

Thats life advice right there folks….. H0z, make sure you listen to yourself
I try my best to.. Some days are harder than others.. But I eventually get there..

*massive hugs*.
Not even close so bad But Devo I just lost my fav and only pair of sunglasses- even used my phone as a flashlight and retraced my steps. Twice. 
Devo - best mate can’t make it to my 30th because her house settlement is 4 weeks before so they are starting their around Australia caravan trip then…
I hate my car!!!
I am so devo right now. Just took it to the mechanic for the timing belt and he has just called saying he noticed on my record that he had written down that the dif oil needs changing ($50 - $60) and some thing on the drive shaft- elbow or something needs doing and that is $220.
Waaaaaaaaaa
I just feel like this stupid car is haemorrhaging money and this is why I bought my nice 8yo car years ago not to deal with a car that is 16yo
