Hey guys,
I know I talked a lot of crap about my dad in here out of anger but I loved him...Dearly. He was my best friend. He was my world pretty much.
After suffering for many years with prostate cancer, he has finally be alieviated from the pain and suffering, sadly, he had to die to escape that pain.
On Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 11:55 AM Jack passed away. He is missed greatly. I feel a huge hole in my heart that I dobt will be filled the same way again. Sure it will be filled one day but it will never be the same...
I love my dad and I hope to god I can make him proud of me one day. I'm not doing so well at that now but one day I'll make him proud up there in heaven. He will be missed by many people whos lives he had touched...The wake and funeral were filled with people he knew, some of whom he hadn't seen in years! My father was a brilliant man. I regret not always appreciate him but I am only human.
The last thing he heard was my voice.
The night before he died I had called him and a good friend of his and mine Mike Gomes answered the phone. Jack had been pretty much comatose for a long time but Mike put the pphone up to his ear anyway and I said
"Hello? Hey Dad! I love you..."
And he woke up. He woke up, opened his eyes, tried to sit up (Failed, but tried) and began to talk! I couldn't make out most o I but I got a "Heyy" and "I love you" out of the mumblings.
We had all been praying for a miracle for Jack and many of us were dissappointed that he died since we thought we dn't get that miracle.
I think that WAS the miracle.
His suffering paused for a minute and he spent his last concious minutes talking to his daughter. I've been told I was his world and I know I was. He loved me more than anything. If I had to die I'd want my last minutes to be with someone I love.
I miss him every day and I cry for him sometimes. I know he's not suffering anymore but I miss him more than I ever thought possible. Call me selfish but I just miss him. I'd never ask for him back unless he could come back cured. I don't want him suffering again. But I miss him.
So rest in peace Jack.
I love you daddy.
