cl72wagon Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Sorry to hear about your loss Bonvo. I know what you are going thru, my dad passed away in 2005 at the age of 47. It sucks, but with time and family it gets better. Talking about him may not be easy now, but down the road it will help alot. Again sorry for your loss. Chris Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 My condolences to you & your family Bonvo. May he rest in peace. "Gone but not forgotten"..... a song for your dad... Quote Link to comment
BenJammin Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sorry to hear it man. Lost my dad at 44 the same way, just gone with no warning. He was almost a 3 pack a day smoker though and was going thru stressful times. It seems to sting a little more when you think they should have gotten more time on this earth to enjoy their family and things they worked hard for. Sorry to be cliche, but it will get better, just give yourself time. Quote Link to comment

The Taterhead Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Bonvo I'm sorry to hear about this. I lost my mom at 49 also. Way too early. Everyone is right, time will help you accept it. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. May he rest in peace. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm so sorry Jon. You had something with your dad that is getting rarer and rarer these days. My brother, sister and I won't have that when my dad goes, neither will my girl with hers. You are blessed. Remember the good times. Don't get down about what you don't have, smile about what you had. I envy you, as do so many others. 1 Quote Link to comment

Again, yes i sympathize with you,this year sucked Quote Link to comment
OneFastRat Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 All you can be grateful for is that the dead are in a better place. All the injured should be grateful that they are still alive because they are still needed. Everyone serves a purpose in this world Quote Link to comment

Buzzbomb Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Bonvo, I know how you feel- literally. The same circumstances happened to me last year death wise. I mean it- the SAME thing involving the same people within weeks of each other. I hope you're doing as well as can be expected, and remember that it takes time. You have to give yourself the time you need to make ANY progress. Expect to be "surprised" by thoughts of the loss and what not, and try not to fight it off. It just makes it worse. You're laying the groundwork by holding those pictures and videos close to your heart. I'd be lying to you if I said it was easy. I hope you're hanging in there..and honestly, tinkering around with those cars is probably one of the best things you can do. It helps- trust me. Take Care and Godspeed to you. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hey mate, hold on. It all gets better in time. It will never be okay, but it will get better. Your father at one point felt the same paint you feel now, and he turned out to be a great happy man. You have a lot to look forward to, and you were obviously raised very well. Just keep your head up. If you're ever feeling down and need a distraction, text me or call me anytime. I'll do the best I can man. 1 Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sorry for your loss brother, losing 2 so close even. Remember them as they were, judging by the pictures, Dad was a riot. Only time eases this stuff... Very sorry you're going through this. Quote Link to comment
