My father just died. I still remember when was the last time I talked to him. It was in the hospital and I just say goodbye and I'll see you tomorrow. He responded "Drive careful." It was the last words that I heard from him. If I just knew it will be the last, I shouldn't have go. I have many things that i wanted to say to him, I even can't remember when was the last time I was able to say I LOVE YOU to him, or did I ever said it to him ever. We were not that close. I am a spoiled brat. And now I lost him, I am sorry TAY, I love you.

I am so sorry. I know how you feel. I lost my dad in 2005. I think I am still greiving in a way, and all I can tell is TIME. It takes time and it will get better. I watched him deteriorate from diabetes. Gange green in his feet, ect .. he went into hospice and it only took two days and he was gone. It broke my heart. I miss him so much. I have diabetes now and I just pray it dosent take me. Hang in there, and he knows that you loved him, even if you didn't say it. Parents know this. Believe me. Take care

I am so very sorry. It seems as though you can tell your loved ones that you love them a million times in one day and when something tragic happens, you wish you said it one more time.
The fact that you visited him in the hopital showed that you care. I'm sure he knew that.
Please accept my deepest sympathy!!!

Hi, sorry what had happened to your dad. This simply reminds me to tell my dad how much I love him and how much he meant to me. We really don't know the exact time and date when our love ones will be taken from us to join our Father in heaven. At time we may have regrets because we fail to let them know how we really feel towards them or we haven't asked for forgiveness for the sins that we have done against them. I know wherever you dad is now he knows that you love him and that you are sorry.
This reminded me to always appreciate the people around me. Condolence.

I am grateful that in my case, I was able to tell my mother sorry and I love you before she drew her last breath. And for months, I was able to take care of her so at least wherever she is right now, she knows that I have served her despite my shortcomings as a daughter.
Keep praying for the eternal rest of your father. He knows you love him and I am sure he has forgiven you. Sometimes, we really do not appreciate some people only until they are gone.

My condolences to you! At least, for the last time, he was able to show you his love for you. By saying those words, he wanted you to be safe.
He's resting in God's bosom now, so don't be so sad. And even if you weren't able to say you love him before he passed, he knew that you loved him. Parents are like that.
