The saddest day ever

I am overwhelmed by all of the thoughts, prayers and good wishes. I really do appreciate it. I know this will take a long time to get over and the hole will never be filled. I do have great memories, painful memories (when I was bad and punished) along with the support group of family and friends that will get me through this difficult period.

I hope to be back asking "stupid" questions, researching how I can repair or upgrade my boat and make silly remarks to other posts in the forum. The sooner the better but I am not on my normal game with work or socially right now. Lots of blank stares on my part. I guess I am a Momma's Boy! Not a bad thing to be in my estimation. The link is for anyone that may be curious. I didn't think I would share but you have all been so caring....

Ken,

My prayers go to you and your family. No question, the saddest day ever, but the important thing is that you find the strength to bring up and remember the happy times with your mom and your family. Please accept my condolences.

Alex.
 
My condolences for you loss. I lost my mother 25 years ago and my dad 5 years ago. I miss them both but I miss my dad more since we became closer after mom died. My mother was the central figure like yours but we learned to rely more on each other and thus became closer. As others have said, take care of your dad and get him out on the boat as soon as you can. It will help both of you.
 
Ken, Very sorry for your loss. You & Your family will be in my prayers.
Take care Wayne
 
Ken,

I know words can do little when this kind of pain strikes us, but let me tell you I'm with you as I've lost my mother 11 years ago when she was way too young. Sure her loss brought my father and I closer than ever before. Cheer every single day you'll be able to spend with him.
And, yes, one of the strongest memories of mum I have is our last day on the sea together... oct. 15 1995

Ken: Very Sorry for you and your family’s loss. Your post brings back to me both my parents which have been gone 5 yrs now. I can tell you from experience; the blank stares never stop, they just get less frequent. Stay strong for the ones who need you most. best wishes ...Ron
 
While I can not relate when it comes to losing a parent, I can only imagine how difficult it must be... Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Keeping your father out on the water with you will create memories that can not be replaced...
 
Our prayers go out for you and your Dad in this difficult time. Words can not describe the grief you must feel.
 
Prayers and Blessings. As we get older, we lose the ones we love most. I know your pain and loss. In the last 4 years I have lost my uncle, 2 brothers and my dad. The hurt never goes away, but the happy memories dull the pain.

God Bless you and your family.
