I'm so sorry, Damir, on the loss of your dad. And what you said about telling your loved ones that you love them is so true. Take good care.

Hi Damir,
So sorry to hear that your Dad has passed. We should be so lucky to end up where he is. As the good book says, streets paved with gold and no pain. What a wonderful place that must be. You and the family are in my prayers.

thank you so much my friends, its still a strange feeling when I call, and he is not there to talk to me, my 9 year old used to talk to him all the time, and now grandpa can't talk to her anymore...I know we will get used to that as time goes by, but for right now is still something that is hard for us to accept...

Haven't had a chance to log in to the forum lately so I was so sorry to hear of your loss Damir. Our thought and prayers will be with you for sure. And yes, those were important words you wrote about telling those around you that you love them. Great advice for everyone.

Very best to you and your family during this challenging time,

Damir,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. You're exactly right about telling loved ones every day that you love them. I lost my Dad when I was 24. I'll be 66 this month, so I understand. Be happy in the fact that you had 2 to know and love in your life. They're both talking about you now!
Best to you,
Pat

Oh, man... Damir, I'm sorry that your Dad passed away. Condolences to you and your family. I feel sad for your daughter. I was 10 when my grandmother died, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Healing wishes to you in this difficult time.

Sorry for your sad news Damir. I was fortunate to be holding my father's hand as he passed, and I told him that I loved him. He died knowing that he was dearly loved by all of his family.
