I learned recently that a fellow SVT member lost his father, far too soon. It was a reminder that life is uncertain, and that I should make time to spend with family; the opportunity to do so will not last forever 
SVT'er loses his father :(

- Start date
Very true. We always realize it when its too late.
Ugh that sucks
It's the worst. I'm 18 months out from losing mine. Keep your loved ones as close to you as possible. Love is why we are here, try to give and receive as much as possible!
In a blink of an eye, it all changes.
RIP
My mother and i were not close, but when she passed away, i decided that i wouldn't live my life as she did.
I realised that life is precious and finite. You never know when it could be your time. i refuse to not pursue my passions and interests. I refuse to worry about things beyond my control. I refuse to give a **** about what others think of me, as they arent living my life for me.

Losing your father is the worst. If had all of Ben's cars, wealth, etc. I would give it up in an instant to have my dad back. April 29th marks 14 years since he passed, quickly approaching half my life span of him not being here.
Damn man, I couldn't imagine. (knocks on wood) my mom and dad are in good health and I spend more and more time with both just picking their brain about shit.
Crazy how every now and then a thread will pop up on here and people talk about how they dont talk to their parents or siblings anymore. How the hell is that even possible is beyond me. I love and cherish my family, flaws and all.
I've seen a lot of death up close and personal but losing my mother is the only one that really haunts my nightmares. I don't envy anyone that loses a parent or a child. I would literally give anything to have 5 more minutes with her.
I can understand both sides of the coin. My mom can be absolutely psycho at times. Although since my nephew was born she has gotten a better hold on her crazy. But still, family has the potential to hurt you in the worst way.
Enough of the thread jack though.
Ben, maybe I missed it, but which member here lost their father?
Been almost 4 years since ive seen my mom or brother and his kids. Between finances, schedules and the distance between us, no bad feelings. Been astranged from my dad longer than that because of family issues. Life is always a moment away from changing dramatically.
I still haven't fully recovered from three of my grandparents passing. I still have one grandma at 98 and she's healthy. When my parents die I'm ****ed.
Lost my Dad in December, Mom 9 years ago. It wasn't a complete surprise as they were both sick for a while, so I was prepared for the outcome. Still sucks. As bad as this may sound, when I had to put my oldest dog down 2 weeks ago it hurt more. My explanation, it was a complete shock as I didn't know she was that sick.
Lost my dad to massive heart attack 5 years ago... he was only 63 and in (so we thought) excellent health.
So it was a surprise. Mom and dad were married for over 40 years and my mother is still an absolute mess to this day.
Dad and I were REALLY close. So sad to see him go.
A father ABSOLUTELY shapes a child's life (for better or worse) and those who argue a dad isn't needed likely didn't have one as a positive influence or at all.

Life is so precious and every time I see anything of this sort it makes me take a step back and count my blessings. I spend as much time with my loved ones as possible as tomorrow is never promised for anyone!
Life goes very fast. I never believed my folks, but as you get older, it goes faster. Enjoy every day and everything.
