I know first hand what it feels like to lose a father as I have lost mine almost 17 years ago, and all I can say is that it does get easier with time but just try to remember the good times. Always remember that he does live on in the hearts of everyone that loved him and knew him. Halie if you need to talk or need anything please don't hesitate to ask me or my daughter Jennifer(from work). Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of the family, our thoughts and prayers as well.
So so sorry for your loss. You can only hold on to the fun and happy memories now. Know that he is truly at peace. My door is always open to you Hobie. You know I love you! xoxo
