It's been 5 years when my father passed away, so in memory of him I want to spread some joy in this community by gifting a game (again). First 20 posters will be included in a draw, and the winner gets a gog of his/hers choice (not Witcher 2 this time, I can't afford it sorry)

My father was my hero. Honestly. He had polio when he was a child, which destroyed his legs. All his life he walked on crutches, since he refused to be in a wheelchair. He drove a car, a tractor and led a normal life. And he took good care of us, even though we were quite poor.

He died of a heart attack, and he was only 56 years old. I only wish that I had spent more time with him. Don't ever take your loved ones as granted. Life changes radically sometimes..


I know this might not be a good place to post this, but I got sentimental again when looking at the old photos. So I apologize if this is not appropriate to put in game forums.
Yeah, never take your loved ones for granted. You will regret it for the rest of your life. :( And no need to apologize, this is general discussion.

I'm sorry to hear :(
After reading 1st post I just cant say anything. Do not include me in draw, I've just needed to post here.
......wow dont know what to say....
I'm sorry to hear this about your father and I hope having him in your memories still gives you all the strength you need to handle this tragedy as good as possible.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I know exactly how difficult it is, especially when your father was so young and a great person. It never get's easier.

I lost my father when I was 17, found him dead in the bed in the morning. Paramedics said it was a hearattack during sleep. Alltough it was 11 years ago I still dream about it from time to time.
I always think about how he would think about the decisions i make in life. Never really treasured the time with him or listened to his advise. It's sad that I had to learn the value of a family the hard way, but I still try to treasure the time with my remaining family.
Alltough we never really bounced back from the tragedy I think myself now as much happier with the lessons I learned during that time and the new found appreciation for life and family.

It's been 5 years, so it's not recent :)

I just had a look at the old photos, so that sparked the idea to give something to you guys :)

But yes, you'll never get over it, that's for sure
Wow, he sounded so brave and focused. He didn't let it get him down, and the things he accomplished...he was so strong. I'm sorry for your loss. *hugs*
You have my condolences :(

Yeah, it may not be recent, but it comes to your mind regularly and you usually feel helpless because you can't change the past. Thankfully I don't experienced something comparable to this (so far), but I know a person who has...

Best wishes!

I'm sorry for you loss, I can't even imagine the situation you had to face when you found him.

I wasn't home when my father had the attack, but my 15 years old sister was, and she saw it happen..
I understand... My father has suffered a serious heart attack lately. He lives, thank God and doctors, but it will never be the same. He hasn't found a job since then. Noone wants to hire a man who had such serious health problem lately. We are going to lose our house in not so distant future, because he has some debts (mortgage...) we can't pay.

My father is 50 years old. I hope he will live long...

I grieve for your loss.

Yes, he sounded like a true hero, no different than a warrior fighting a dragon that is attacking his village.

I hope where he is now, he is happy. I also grieve for your loss, KneeTheCap.
