at least you have your priorities straight.

When you get down to it, lego is only little bits of plastic, and love is forever. Keep your dad's memories alive and he'll live forever in your hearts.

I remember when I lost my grandfather (who was a surrogate dad to me my whole life), I felt like I had lost my anchor. It took me a couple of years to get over it, and to this day I still feel his loss. But now I can remember all the goofy things he did, and I smile, and am grateful for having him in my life.

I sympathize with you, and wish you and yours a speedy healing process, though I know there is no easy way to get through this.

This kinda helped me, I hope it helps.

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.

I am I,
and you are you;
whatever we were to each other,
that, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used,
put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.

All is well.

Please know that you have my deepest sympathies! I've experienced several losses this year (I was a pallbearer 3 times this summer), and I know the pain and emptiness that you are experiencing.

I am truly sorry.

Losing someone so unexpectedly and at an early age can be very shocking. I am sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry for you, and my deepest respect to you and your family.
my grandfather past away unexpected as well, and I was devastated. I know how it feels.
A fine thing that you still keep on building and want to interact with us and all.

Again, my condoleances to you and your family.

greetings from the Netherlands,

My sincerest condolences for this tragic loss. May you find comfort in the memories of your father, and the knowledge that he is with God now.

I hope that the presence of family and friends at this time of year helps to ease the pain of such a difficult loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Hopefully, when you are ready, the builders here at CC can give a brief respite from your grief and bring a smile to your face again.
