I feel much respect for you. You are intelligent and you had a good contact with your father. These are gifts not many people have. I don't want to sound smart but everything that happens in life makes sense after a while although sometimes we cannot recognize the meaning first. And some things just hurt. I wish you can be strong and survive the pain.

It's nice to find someone who appreciates what they really have.

Your father's sickness was a gift. Life is indeed measured not by the moments we breathe but by every moment that takes our breath away.

A sad but inspiring story. I also felt the same way before when my mom and my eldest brother died. I was in 4th grade when my mom died and was in 1st year high school when my brother died, it truly hurts me, because even for the last time, I wasn't able to say how much I love them. It was really too late for me. It became a lesson for me that I should have love them more and more from the start.

This is so touching I love reading it. I think everyone at a certain point has asked him/herself "why me?" I very much asked that question when my dad passed away. It is now three years but sometimes I found myself crying until I had my first son and named him after my late dad. I remember the love my dad shared with me and my whole family and I now count it a blessing to have learned that from him and I share it fully with my son and wife.

Thank you. Your story challenged me to improve in my relationship with my parents. It reminds me how precious they are in my life. You lifted up my spirit!

It is our attitude at the bigning of a trouble that determines it's outcome. Instead of crying "WHY ME" one should say "TRY Me." A truly uplifting and inspiring story that underscores the need to live and spread love each moment.

This gives me the idea that "Love even if it hurts, and continue to love even if it hurts no more."

I've lost my uncle in an accident last April...I really feel sad at that time...but i've realized that there are still a lot of people around me who need love...and now I've been trying to love everybody and everything around me.

It was very sad if we have to lose the person that we love.

My dad died of cancer too when I was in 3rd grade. I was young then. You are lucky that you were able to build a relationship with him and that somehow he became a part of what you had to go through in life, may it be good times and bad times.
I wish I had that chance so I wouldn't be feeling as if all along, all this time, something was missing in my life...but I guess we gain some, and then we lose some...
