Tony,
I join in everyone else's sadness and sympathy for the loss of your father at such an early age (although NO age ever seems 'old enough'). Hold close to the love and memories your wonderful father gave you and carry that with you for your lifetime.
I truly speak from the heart, as my own father (who will be 63 in less than 2 weeks) is nearing the end of his own battle with PC. Like yours, my father is a WONDERFUL, loving man who devoted the best yrs of his life to caring for and providing for his family. While we never wish ill on ANYONE, we always wonder, "Why the good guys?" It just doesn't seem fair, does it?
I pray that you will find peace and strength beyond your father's passing. The best thing you can do is to honor your father by being the kind of man he was as you continue to grow. I'm sure nothing would make him prouder!
God Bless.
