Duane,
So sorry to hear about your Dad, It's very hard losing your parents. Atleast you got to say good bye, it does help just alittle.

Duane, I'm so sorry!  I know your dad was smiling inside when you told him about dropping his bike.  He was probably thinking of all the other things he already knew about that you hadn't told him about either, and was proud that his son, making confession, had turned out to be such an admirable man with great character and strength!  My prayers are you with you and your family.

Duane,
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, it is a hard thing to lose a parent. I am happy for you that you were able to tell him how you felt and hear how he felt about you before he  passed. My father will be gone a year Monday the 15th, we’re having a mass for him tomorrow, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers

Take care,
Ed

Duane, so sorry to hear of your loss.  My father also lost his battle with cancer after smoking 2-3 packs a day all of his life.  

Cherish the fact that you got to visit with him about something that was a common bond and made peace ... that is something that you will carry with you always.

Duane,
Man I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad.  It is heartwarming to know that he left this earth on good terms with you, and I know that makes you feel good.  I certainly wish I could have been so fortunate with my mother.  Her death was so sudden.  It was through her death that my father and I were able to reconnect.  As much as I miss my Mom, and as chitty as I feel for not being able to reconnect with her before she passed, I am thankful I was able to get right with Dad.
You and your family are in our thoughts.

Duane,
Sorry about losing your Dad, I lost mine two years ago in almost the same way. Best to remember him during the best times, than the way he was at the end.
He's in a far better place, and you can keep the memories burning.

Duane sorry for your loss I know what you are giong thru.  I lost my dad in May of last year after a 3 year battle with cancer.  It wasn't easy and think of him often.  Keep him in your thought and he will never be alone.

Duane,
  Sorry, Man.  I wasn't "estranged", per say, from my Father, but I sure did cause him a lot of grief and embarrassment, on my quest to make a reputation for myself, or whatever the hell it was, I was doing.  What a fool I was.  I agree with everyone here.  You were fortunate enough to mend the fence, before your Father passed.  I had to make my peace with my Father, at his grave.  I hope I did, anyway.  You never really know, that way though, ya' know?  Think of the good.  Forget the rest.  Later--HUBBARD

Sorry to hear of your loss, Porthole.  Lost both my parent that way too, so I know how you are feeling.  Just remember the good times, and as long as he's in your memory, he'll still be around.

The memories you have of your father will take you into another place of your life.  You were blessed to have the time that you did with him and those memories will last a lifetime.  All the Best during this time.
