The fight is over.

Sorry to hear that. Even though I didn't reply on that post I read it, and it did make me think quite a bit because I used to do the kind of stuff your father did, so know what it takes to overcome it. So he was definitely a fighter for more than just cancer, and cancer might have actually been the 'easier' of the two... because it's something you have to do. He didn't have to quit drugs and alcohol, but good for him that he did and probably got many more years because of it. And years you needed to help understand why he acted the way he did, but none of us are perfect.
 
Omg I'm so sorry to hear this. He's in a better place now. My prayers are with you guys.
 
I never had the chance to say "Goodbye" to my dad who passed long ago. I'm glad that you had yours longer to have those conversations with but it still does not ease the pain of loss.

I'm sorry.
 
Sorry and prayers with you,but just like Curt says he is watching from above, and I truly believe that. My wife has lost so many family members to that disease we have her checked out through the year.Stay strong and your friends from the forum are always here.
 
Thanks again everyone.

It's still pretty rough for me and even more so for my step-mom who was with him nearly every day for the last 29 years. I know I didn't pick up the phone and call him as much as I should have but now that he's gone, if I had talked to him every day it wouldn't have been enough.

He had been through a lot in his rather short life and was always good for advice or just lending an ear to my frustrations about life, politics, my own kids, or pretty much anything I needed to talk about.

He is definitely missed by all that had the privilege of knowing him.
