Ive just be informed my father has passed - The Orange Mane

Los Broncos · 12-05-2007, 12:36 AM

Just got off of the phone with my aunt that i haven't talked too in 17 years!

She informed me that my father passed away last year from cancer.

He was an alcoholic and drug user, he passed away peacefully with no pain.

The last time i seen him was the summer of 91.

A lot of things come to mind at this time.

The times we had, the things we never did together.

He never got to see his grandson, we never got to attend a football game.

The hardest part is never getting to say goodbye to him.

In his suffering he asked about me many times and i thought of him.

It hurts to know that i will never see him again or my son will never meet him.

I'm just asking for support from some of you, it would make me feel a lot better.

Well, back in 89 her mother and brother died.

It was a hard time for her because we were close.

We lost contact and she didn't know where to find me.

I just wish i would have tried to find her sooner.

I looked her up in the whites pages, first person i found was her.

Orange_Beard · 12-05-2007, 12:44 AM

Sorry to hear that. Don't know what else to say.

I wish there were more I could say or do.

Well for the past couple of months ive been trying to find my father, no luck.

So today i went to whitepages.com and found her, called her up and left a message.

Los Broncos · 12-05-2007, 01:30 AM

I don't mean to get all milky, but all i ever wanted was a father.

It hurts more now then ever.

hey Sorry Lynch to know you've been going through this. It truly sucks. I hope the best for you and your son. Take this bad experience and build it into a positive one with your own kid. Teach him the value in that too.

Lynch...I'm sorry to hear of your news.

I do know somewhat how you feel as I found out a year later that my natural father (who was an alcoholic, too) passed away. That was back in 2001.

Though you never were able to 'say' goodbye, you still have the opportunity to take the good things from him and allow them to live on in you and your son. You will be able to show your son the good things about your father!

Always remember that our loved ones who have passed live on in us and the memories we hold close to!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you!!

Thank you STG, i just think about the short time we had together.

Memories mend the pain.

Lynch, my condolances. May you find peace in knowing he passed away peacefully.

One question for you. Why haven't you seen nor stayed in contact for over 16 years?

Crushaholic · 12-05-2007, 02:45 PM

As much as he made bad decisions in his life, he's still your father. I can imagine that it hurts. May you find the strength to deal with this emotionally...

When i was 17 my grandmother passed away, which is aunts mother and my fathers mother.

Then my uncle committed suicide, my aunt was going threw a hard time.

And at 19 i went off to Utah (job corps), lost contact with my father who was homeless at the time.

I had my life to live, i figured my aunt would come around after a while but never did.

I know it's hard because I am in the same boat, not exactly because my father is still alive. However, when I think of my father (since we have never spent any real time together) I try to always remember the good things. The things we have never done together, I sure make sure that I do them with my kids.

Stay strong and hang in there brother, things will get better over time. My prayers will be with you and your family during this difficult time!

theAPAOps5 · 12-05-2007, 06:56 PM

Hey buddy sorry for your loss. I myself have a father that lets just say I call the sperm donor. He hasn't been there much as I have grown in life. But there is always that strange bond so even though you were seperated I know its still pains you. My thoughts are with you and take man!
