I saw the subject, but i cant read anything in this thread because it will ruin me.
Lost my dad in 2001 and ive never really been the same since. to the OP im sorry for your loss, it does get easier over time, but it will always feel like a part of you is missing.
You notice the change as the thoughts of the loss turn into the memories of the good times, stuff that makes you smile or chuckle out loud.

Myself and 'Parrot Of Doom' lost our dad in december 2010 to bladder cancer. He was 73. I miss his laugh, his smile, his silly funny ways with things like 'shut the window the heat is being let out of the house' then he would sit in the kitchen on the computer with the back door wide open while my mum was feeling the cold in the other room lol.
We never had a funeral, he donated his body to science but when they have finished with him they will do a ceremony for us with us there.
I miss his voice and his presence at mums house, his shed is still full of electronics stuff and we aim to empty it in summer and demolish the shed as its rotting away. He made it himself and its quite big. Its so mum can finally have the yard into a garden.
So I understand your loss and the feelings that come with it.
My dad passed away at 3am in hospital and we were not there because we thought he would last a week or more.

Both my parents are 76, and currently in very good health. Last year my wife and I made the painful decision to move to the other side of the world to live. It was indeed a hard decision to make.
I've promised both them and myself that I'll visit them at least once a year, but it still doesn't make me feel any less guilty.

We hear nothing of this great man in 81 years and then you tell us he's gone......selfish OP, just selfish.
He sounds like a great guy to be around. If my kids think of me like that when I'm gone, I'd be chuffed to bits......
Ps....I especially like the bit about the spelling mistakes. For me it's the one thing, more than any other i've read here, that sums up PH!!
Keep smiling for him fella.....
