Im so sorry mate, condolences to you and your family. Been through it myself at a young age.
Deepest condolences to you and your family Terry - If you ever want a chat feel free to pm me, lost my brother and sister in the last couple of years and always hold them close to my heart.

Such sad news Tez, very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing, 57 is far too young, especially for someone who looked after themselves like it sounds like he did. Be very thankful your dad got to see you get married and saw your kids.....my mum passed away just over 3 years ago from cancer and she wasn't here to see me get married or meet my kids, it is the one thing in life I wish I could change (other than her still being here).
I'm glad you made this post, the best thing you can do is talk about it with people. I've found time to be a very slow healer but talking about your feelings with people close to you is the best thing you can do.
Tradgedies are seldom ever a complete loss, if nothing else they can help you to really appreciate the years you have left on this earth and to make the most of the time you have left with your friends and family. I'm sure he will be with you for eternity, just that it is in a different way now.
All the best to you and your family Terry.
On a side note, had an absolute ball Saturday mate, cheers for a fun arvo.
