I've posted this on another thread, so this is just a copy and paste.
No delicate way to say this, but about 12 hours ago my Dad died.
Very unexpectedly as he was only 53, he didn't drink or smoke, exercised and wasn't overweight. He'd gone to the ER 20 hours before, thinking he was having a heart attack, but wasn't.
They dismissed him saying it was probably gas/food poisoning. He started to deteriorate rather rapidly at about 11 o'clock last night and Mom took him to the ER again, once there, they tired to raise his low blood pressure and that's when we think his aorta ruptured.
The medical examiner is going to do an investigation to try and find out what happened and maybe see why he was dismissed from the ER the first time.
Didn't realize that yesterday would be his last day, but after coming back from the ER (the first time), he and I talked about what would happen if he had died. And I'm glad we did that and I think that little 5min, half kidding conversation is going to help me.
It's hard to put into words. Friday night he picked me up from UH , on the ride back we were talking about what were going to get done today and plans for the future like we always do. And anything seemed possible, he and I have moved some real mountains and done stuff that was borderline impossible.
I kinda promised him that I'd finish the farm for him. For the last 19 years (my whole life), he's been trying to get a farm started from nothing. Which for those that don't know, is VERY hard.
But working my own is going to be something new, having an extra set of hands really makes a world of difference.
PM is probably not the best place for this, but I'm sure someone here has gone through this before and may have some advice. I don't really know where to begin, I'm going to be calling the CPA for life insurance, taxes, etc Monday.
I think writing this rambling couple of paragraphs has harder than seeing the body. So many things I should have done differently. He really was a hell of guy.
Dad will have been gone 24 hours here soon and I've started to calm down and am starting to make plans.
Other than all the bills, insurance, taxes etc, I'm really worried about fixing all the junk so to finish the farm and machine shop. I'll be working on my own from now on and not really sure how much is this is going to impact me.
Once I do the boom seals in the F800, I'll have a service truck of sorts. But do any of you one man service teams have any tips for working by your self? This is going to be a steep learning curve for me.
It may seem weird to be asking this right after his death. But finishing the farm, his dream, is something he wanted desperately. And for me to not do it would be the worst thing I could do to his memory.
