My father died just over 3 weeks ago of a heart attack. He was 81 but in really good health, active, busy all the time, never sat still, always looking after everyone else. I am from a close family of 2 sisters and a brother, we still have my mom. And there are between us 7 grandchildren. However the family feels broken without him and I can't imagine ever getting over this loss. He was a huge part of all of our lives, always smiling, helping, laughing, singing and dancing. I don't really know what else to say. I am devastated. The funeral is this Wednesday which I am dreading.
