I lost my dad in May 2019, he had heart issues for 30 years, open heart an 18 stints. The last year of his life he was doing so well, he wanted me to come over and have lunch with him, I said I would tomorrow, had alot that needed to be done. 8 am the next morning I got a call from a police officer my dad was found dead in His garage. I should have went over and has lunch. I'm so sorry I didn't. My mom had been battling dementia for 5 years, in a facility for 1, she passed less than 3 months later. I try to be ok with all of it but I have many regrets.

Thinking of you

Dave, Thank you for sharing your life story. I also have gone through a lot of lost through the years with my family. It makes you feel like you're the only one when one by one they keep going. I am now the last one left or I should say the oldest one left. I've lost my whole family and I still have all three of my children which are total blessings to me. It's certainly is a different lifestyle to live and you have to be strong to be able to live it.

I just lost my 46 year old son Eric Rowland I just appreciate any prayers for my family this celebration of life was on Oct 17th. He raced the 10 mile Crim in his streetwise chair 4 years in a row. He went to Southwestern and got his masters from Baker College. He was my hero! I pray for you and we both loved seeing your news and post.

Thank you for sharing Dave. Life experiences are the best and hardest education we all have. What you do with your "knowledge" is your choice. You have chosen wisely!

Your life history up to now … gives your current perspective UNDERSTANDING. I think it also helps those who follow you on social media better insight. You were wise to share it. May your relationship with Jesus as your Savior ONLY GROW & continually give you hope for living✨🙏🏽✨

Thank you for sharing. I have lost a lot of people. Most of the people in mine and my husbands family are gone. I suffer with anticipatory grief. Yes, it is a thing. I not only hold on to grief of those past but also worry about those I have to lose. Prayers for all the people grieving their family, friends and pets.

I too understand grief. My grandparents are all deceased. I really only knew my grandmas. My sister, was murdered in flint, in her front yard, another sister died suddenly after my brother in law, 8 months later. They were husband and wife , both 49. Soon after my father passed at 73, my nephew a victim of suicide, and most recently my mother. I miss her so much. I struggle too with anticipatory grief. I fear loss. Just lost my 10 year old boxer. May they all rest in heaven.

Thank you for sharing Dave. I lost my dad in 1990 to mesotheloma. He was my superman my everything. When the 3 kids drowned in kearsley park in the storm drain . Micheal hoye was my cousin. I lost an uncle. And my grandpa not long after that. I watched my mom lose her life to alcholism. I held her hand till she took her last breathe. Addiction is no stranger to my family. From my brothers to my youngest child. My father in law passed from a very rare disease. My mother in law tried to take her life durring covid. And sadly passed 4 weeks later. Life hands us cards that we have to play. Strangers become friends, friends become strangers. Lifes to short. Live now wevare not promised tomorrow!

Things happen for a reason I think. Prayers.

David's avatar

Thank you, Dave, from another Dave who has experienced the loss of loved-ones. I'm the last one left in my family. My Mom died of a massive heart attack in 2002; then, my Dad passed away from a raging cancer in 2012; My Grandma passed in 2018. Life has been tough but my deep-seated faith in Our Lord and Savior has kept me strong and pushing onward. I thank Yeshua for my Mom ingraining in me strong Christian values.

Blessings to you.. We are only here for a short time. Make the most of the time you've been blessed with.

Death is clearly an enemy and it leaves a sting on a persons heart like no other. Thank you for sharing your losses with us, Dave! It keeps their memory alive
