My dad passed away last night

[Blzer]

Yup, another one of these threads.

Down the road I'll progressively get more and more detailed about either what happened or the man he was. I'm plenty wrecked, but I don't feel like the actual void has been truly felt yet. What it will mean when he is no longer there is far more than I can handle. Honestly, I'm 26 years old and I don't know anything about anything. I was hoping he could teach me as I went.

Calvin Stanley Robinson never got to see me walk down the aisle or see any grandchildren. Today I am starting my new job as a full-time high school teacher, and although I know every single damn day he asks me how school was and I say "Good" and he just laughs it off, I want to tell him everything about it. I'm not taking time off, and he wouldn't want me to do so either. It's time for me to begin providing.

Like I said, I'll be able to say more later as I go, but it was a heart attack (his second one). I have to get ready for my day.

This thread is hard to make, not only because it's one that I didn't want to have to make for a long time, but I feel like anything people say won't help me out. I just want people to know that the world lost a great man yesterday, and of about only eight close deaths that I have had, this is by far the closest and most impacting.

Sorry for you loss Blazer. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Being a teacher, you get a chance to shape the future minds of this great country. Without even knowing your father, I know he's proud of you.

Sorry to hear that man. I lost my pop at 17. He was only 50. I am 31 now, and when I see stuff like this, it reminds me of him. It's tough and you will grieve. It is ok to be sad. But eventually look back on the happy memories and try to be happy when you think of your dad. I wish you the best in dealing with this man, I know all too well what you are going through.

I am sorry for your loss. I know you said you aren't taking off of work, and that is fine, people deal with things differently, just make sure you take time to grieve.
