Description
Tonight, my Dad passed away. He and Mom were involved in an auto accident. Mom was driving and Dad was the passenger. they were on their way home from shopping when they were T-Boned by a driver who, from all appearances, ignored the stop sign and plowed into their car. Dad suffered a cardiac arrest and the EMTs did all they could but could not revive him.
the full impact of this event has not hit me yet and I don't know when it will. My step-mom is okay with some cracked ribs, broken sternum and a minor concussion but she will make it. I ask your thoughts and prayers for my family, especially my step-mom as we travel down this road.
the picture presented to you is the hat that Dad always wore, no matter what, when, or where. It was his trademark.
Rest in peace, Dad. You will be missed.

Oh God Mike I am so truly sorry for your loss. I cannot fathom it. I lost my Dad when I was only twelve, but I think in some ways, even though we're supposed to be more "equipped" to handle it when we're adults, it's harder. You've known them longer, you have more memories... you have a real appreciation for how much they loved you. All my blessings to you and yours in your immense grief.
