Well hello, Jounge.
Apr 10, 2015, 10:01 AM
|
|
Just wanted to pop in this morning and say hello, and I know I've been conspicuously absent over the last two weeks, but my Dad was in the hospital all last week, and finally passed away late Tuesday night. It was unexpected, but he did live a pretty long full life ad will be remembered as an amazing man, and an incredible husband and father. He was a die hard Clemson man, class of 1958, and I can count on my two hands the home, away, and bowl games that he and my mother missed over the last 45 years until this season when Mom broke her hip the night before the SC State game and had to watch them all on TV. And they still made it to the bowl game.
Our family is of course heartbroken, but we're a tough lot and we'll get through it. It's what warlords do, as y'all know. I did, however, want to make sure and let you all know that that I've come to think of you guys as family. I've taken great pleasure in meeting and becoming close with a LOT of Joungers, and am truly looking forward to meeting the rest of you soon. Just because we haven't met face to face doesn't mean I don't count you among my friends!
I guess the point here is that sometimes we get caught up in our own little dramas, and forget to tell the people that mean something to you that they're valued. Thanks The Lounge at Tigernet for being a part of my life. You're all truly appreciated.
I know the contingent that makes it to VomitFest tomorrow will raise a cold Schlitz (or inferior substitute) to my Dad, and trust me when I say that missing out seeing the Joungers tomorrow in Clemson is one of the painful parts of my week.
Make sure and tell those you love how feel sooner rather than later because we never know how long we'll be around. I was lucky enough to get plenty of opportunity to do that before Dad passed.

It crushed me when I lost daddy. I was just 19 and barely could wipe my butt. The world began to look really big and I seem to be really small.

I can only echo what everyone else has already said...
Apr 10, 2015, 3:03 PM
|

but I do want to just say I haven't lost my father, but watching him lose his father--my Grandfather--it becomes obviously apparent that no matter how old we get we are still that little boy who always looks up to their father and hopes to do him proud. I'm sure in his last moments he was the proudest father in the world, as was yours. Remember that.
my prayers and condolences with you and your family.

Prayers for you and your family. I know exactly how you feel. Dad passed six plus years ago just before Christmas. Mom still hanging in there. She turned 100 Tuesday the 7th.
Be there for them. Each day is a blessing regardless of the circumstances.
