gone

Yesterday morning, my father died after being struck by a vehicle while cycling. I will not be back here for a while.

I loved him so very much and he was the very best man that I know.

    I don’t know you personally; I don’t even remember how I originally came across your blog. I enjoy reading your blog, and when this came across my feed reader, I thought I’d give you my condolences. I’m sorry for your loss.

    Oh, Jason, I am so, so sorry. I lost my dad in December, very suddenly. My sympathy to you and your family. It doesn’t get better, you just cry less. I am sorry.

    I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear about this. My heart is heavy for your loss — From the little I knew (of) him, I could tell your father was a great man. You have all our support in this difficult time.

    Hey Jason - I came here from Mike’s blog… I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. No matter how old you are and no matter how it happens, losing a parent is awful. I’ve been there. Take care of yourself.

    My sincerest condolences. I only knew of your father from his many witty comments here. He seemed like one hell of a nice guy.

    I’ll say a prayer for both of you.

    Jason, Mike sent me here. I am so very sorry for your loss. My father-in-law died unexpectedly this past winter. It’s a hard thing to lose a parent, at any age. I will say a prayer for you and your family.

    Hey there, you do not know me, but my heart aches for you. You’ll be in my prayers. And you did your father justice: your post about him is beautiful. He was a wonderful man, and I’m sure he’d be beyond proud to know you thought so. May God bless your family during this difficult time.
