OT: My Dad

[robster87123]

my dad passed away last week, he loved to play his fathers guitar and im learning now that hes gone.. im only 18 yrs old n i was google'n for some music to remember him by when i came across this thread and i decided to register.. i just wanted to say i love my father very much and i regret everytime i wasnt the best son i could've been and everything i never told him or shared with him. he was a proud guy so he never really showed much emotion but i knew he loved me and my sister. i know very few of u care about this but i just felt like saying something about him to anyone because he was a great man and although none of u knew him or know me, the feeling that i've tried to express how much he meant to me to others makes today just slightly more bearable..

Robster it is tough losing dad. Welcome to the forum. Mobay (Larry) and others have paid great tribute to their dads that have passed.

I still have trouble believing my dad is gone and it has been 6 years.


Hang in there he taught ya and you will be okay.

This has been a great thread to read on a thursday morning. I lost my mum to breast cancer two years ago, and although I think about her everyday it is good and right to celebrate the parents with threads like this.
As I am about to become a parent in September I kinda wish she was here to see that. She would have made the perfect doting grandmother - although would have hated being called granny.
My dad is very much still with me and totally supportive of his two bass playing sons, despite not having a musical bone in his body bless him...

Hey, Robster - I'm so sorry. I lost my dad suddenly when I was 27 and it was so hard. I can't imagine how tough it must be for you at 18. Talking about him is definitely a good thing! If it weren't for mt dad having a guitar around the house (he never did really learn how to play, but he enjoyed all types of music), I never would have gotten started. Hang in there.

My dad was not much of a poet, but he was a hell of an engineer! We lost him a few years ago...I still miss him dearly.

Thanks for sharing, Larry!

Hey Robster. I hope that you will always remember your dad for everything he was. It's tough to lose them and especially just as you are getting ready to start a life of your own. I hope that in some small way my post brought a smile to your face and caused you to have some fond memories about your dad. I'm sure he would have told you to keep your chin up.

About a year and a half ago after my mother passed away, my fathers 75th birthday was like 2 months later and he was really grieving.

I woke up that morning w/o a present for him. Picked up the guitar and wrote him a song. Called it MILESTONE (75 and first b-day w/o mom).

He cried when I played it for him.


...coulda been the playing I guess.

at least he didn't walk out.
