I don't like to delve into my personal life that much, but I think sharing this would help.
It's funny- his cancer had taken a heavy toll on him, and I already knew it was a matter of time. Plus I was able to get in touch with him and talk to him a week before he died, and I got to tell him about things going on with me and what I was planning to do. He sounded really happy and encouraging, so I assumed that would take some of the sting off. It still felt like a knee to the gut when I got the news.
I dunno, I would have liked to share more with him, but I keep telling myself that he had been having a hard time talking, so he wouldn't have been able to engage in any long conversations even if he had wanted to.
He wasn't ever a primary parental figure in my life (or any of my brothers for that matter, dude was a bit of a dog), but his faults aside, he was a smart and cool guy. I like to think he had a good impression on me when we were around each other.

I'm very sorry for your loss but at least you can take solace in the fact that he's no longer suffering.

Sorry to hear about that. Nice to see though that you're able to look at the positives that he carried. That's at least worth something.

Sorry to hear that Losing a family member is a tough pill to swallow.. I've been there. I suppose the one comfort is knowing that atleast he isnt suffering anymore.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother has been battling cancer for about 2 years now, and sometimes I wonder what would happen if she lost her battle, and I can't imagine it...or...I don't want to.
After the grieving is over, you'll feel a lot better knowing he's at peace.

You and your family are in my prayers. Even if you keep a lot to yourself, it may help to vent to someone; and you have a whole community here with you. I am very sorry for your loss.
