Distraction after Dad's passing

[familytoad]

Tom, I certainly feel bad for you and for your family as you struggle with this loss.

As many have dealt with the inevitable passing of loved ones already, even those who haven't., unfortunately they will

My mom passed a month and a half ago, I am still in shock, disbelief and pain.

Folks say it takes time, so I'll pass those words on to you as well.

I'm glad we all do have this hobby as distractions. It works for me most of the time...i hope it does for you too!

My sincere condolences Tom,

The board is certainly a diversion from the pain of loss. My dad passed away two years ago. The grief does pass, but the sense of loss remains just under the surface. There are still times when I find myself ready to pick up the phone during a Red Sox or Patriots game to talk with him. Thoughts and prayers during this extremely tough time.

My Good Fellow Tom,

You are So Right... When it comes to the Net54 Baseball Boards, I am able to set aside life and lose myself for a bit of time amidst the reality of "Life is Loss".

I feel your thoughts my friend & my prayers are with You & Yours!
May Your Spirit be at ease... and know that you are not alone...

As Always...

Sorry to hear about your dad, hope you have lots of good memories to keep you company.
Lost my dad 20 years ago this year and my mom 10 years ago this month.
Think of them all the time and always come up with questions I wished I'd asked them and new things in my life I would love to be able to share with them.
I am blessed that I had them to bring me up and, as the Buddha supposedly said, if you carry your parents on your back for the rest of your life you can never repay them for all they've done for you.
Certainly is true in my case, and I try to pay it forward, since I have been given so much.
