It seems as I get older and with a big birthday coming up next month...Sigh!! I miss my parents and Aunts and Uncles more than I used to some years ago. They seem more real to me than a lot of younger folk.
My Dad died of a stroke on the way to his Brother's funeral. Huge shock and I never got to say Goodbye..well that's life. He had been a smoker.

Krisles Sadly we all smoked my dad died at 56 he gave up three years earlier as I did. Well I did sneak one or two occasionally, but we were all passive smokers the roofs of the buses dripped with yellow condensation. When one father dies early and one is young one cannot hardly understand how the world keeps on going as normal. An old acquaintance of mine a senior psychiatrist in a hospital suddenly shocked me recently by saying she smoked and most of the Doctors did also, so it is a strong drug and those who have not smoked and are younger may not realize how difficult it is to break the habit.Your Daddy was unlucky, your Mother was the one to suffer the loss. We always feel sorry for the one who has died, but really we feel sorry for ourselves. I kept trying to think that, but it did not help.

It is interesting how life works out...Your father was wonderful and quite a character. You have brought him to life with your words.

This is powerful! You are really, really getting to me tonight, and I can imagine what you went through! My own Dad died when he was 57, of the same causes brought on by decades of heavy smoking. It hit me very hard, even though we did not have a good relationship - or probably because of it...
BTW, I quit cold turkey years ago, and although it was hard for maybe six months or so, I have not had the slightest desire to ever start again since. That I began running and even did a few Marathons helped...
