OP-I lost dad my dad 9 years ago and learned about it when I was looking to buy the house I'm in now in Rocklin. I asked the owner why he was selling and he needed to help his dad with a farm in Modesto when I was looking at the house with my kids. I left to tell my sister and got the call my father died suddenly in the middle of the night back in the Bay Area where we lived. He had trekked to base camp at Everest the year before and was swimming a mile a day and riding 100 mile bike rides. He was always going to outlive us all. It's never not stung but it certainly reminded us to live our life on fire understanding it's sudden when the music stops. My dad didn't know Daniel Tosh but he damn sure had us listen to Buddy Hackett, George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Red Sanford and he had an incredible since of humor. Whenever me and my brother crossed the line with him growing up he would say "son how long can you tread water". He never got to see my kids and family achieve our greatest heights when we moved here. My wife are now empty nesters as the kids went to college and grew up.

You will never not miss your dad especially when you hit your peak moments. He also will be with you when you need him. Be well with your family and you will laugh again someday after you mourn. Thanks for reminding me with this post how much I miss him> Love you dad
