I don't know how to say it in english, but I feel sorry for you, Mr URBANSTEEL.

Beste Jos,

Je hebt mijn oprechte deelneming. Kijkende naar de leeftijd van je vader, denk ik dat hij een mooi leven gehad heeft.

Een mooie foto van een man met een karakteristiek gezicht.

Sterkte toegewenst voor jou, je gezin en je familie met het verwerken
van dit grote verlies.

Mag de muziek van de Stones je helpen bij de verwerking.
Time waits for no one....

Sincerely, Urban Wheel

Hi Jos,

I really don't know what to say in this cases and don't know what are the right english words to say this, but i really sorry... for you and your family... try to think just in good things and the best times living between you and you father, maybe that helps (a little)...


Best wishes,




Martín

May Your Father's spirit live forever !
May You and Your Family come together in His Spirit.

( PS : It is apparently some very strong, emotional and beautiful Dutch lyrics you have posted. A Dutch-born woman at my work has responded quite emotionally - we shall try to find this song )

Mr Urbansteel:I want to say to you that I´m very sorry for that. Be strong, if you need something I am sure that all of us will be at your side. Keep with you your best remembers of him.

I know exactly how you feel Urban & my sincerest condolences to you. My dad also passed away, a couple of months before Xmas. He was 82 & had been in the Polish army in WWII. I suspect both men could have sat down & shared many common experiences together.

Xmas was sadder without him & we had a vacant chair for him. I don't know if you know of the American civil war song 'The Vacant Chair' but I find the first verse & chorus to be very poignant.


We shall meet but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
While we breath our evening prayer.
When one year ago we gathered,
Joy was in his mild blue eye,
Now the golden cord is severed,
And our hopes in ruin lie.

Chorus
We shall meet but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
While we breath our evening prayer.

Papa

Ich habe dieselben Augen
und ich bemerke dein Zucken um meinen Mund
Früher war ich ein Hitzkopf
Früher warst du ein Hitzkopf
Aber wir haben unsere Ruhe gefunden
Wir sitzen nebeneinander
und wir sprechen nicht so viel
Für alles, was du machst
habe ich das gleiche Ritual
Papa, ich werde dir immer ähnlicher

Ich habe dieselben Hände
und bekomme deine Falten in meiner Haut
Du hast deine Ideen
Ich habe meine Ideen
Wir wandern in Gedanken
aber wir kehren immer wieder heim
Die Wahrheit, die du gesucht hast
und die du niemals gefunden hast
Ich suche sie auch
vergeblich
solange ich lebe
Papa, ich werde dir immer ähnlicher

Früher konntest du streng mit mir sein
wie habe ich dich manchmal dafür gehasst
aber deine Worte
sie liegen mir auf den Lippen
und ich rede heute
so wie du früher geredet hast
und ich sage heute
was du früher gesagt hast
Ich habe einen gottlosen Glauben
und ich liebe alle Frauen
und vielleicht bin ich geworden
was du auf keinen Fall wolltest
Aber Papa, ich werde dir immer ähnlicher

Du glaubst an Gott
also kommst du auch in den Himmel
und ich glaube an nichts
also werden wir uns nach dem Tod,
nach dem Tod niemals mehr wiedersehen
Aber Papa, ich liebe dich immer mehr

I am very sorry for your loss. He is at peace. I will pray for you and your family.

Very tough to lose a parent at any age and under any circumstance. My heart goes out to you. Go on living as a shining example of the impact he had on this world.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Edmund. Thank you for sharing your news with us. -Jim

My sincere condolences, UrbanSteel. Take care.

URBANSTEEL, a great great and sincere regard from Buenos Aires. Hope you can get better soon, and remember your father with a smile, always with a big smile. My father is 73 actually (I am 35) and he is ill since 2005 (Parkinson) so I can imagine how you must be feeling right now.

Again mate, my sincere condolences from Argentina, far away in distance but close in feelings. You have been giving all of us in this forum a lot, so this time WE ARE ALL WITH YOU.

Regards and be strong.

My heartfelt sympathy, Jos.

Dear UrbanSteel,
What could I say? Maybe just that I think I can feel what you're feeling now, I lost my Dad too, a few years ago ... And even if I did, I know it can't be true, because each Dad is a single Dad no one can compare his own Dad with.
Sad, sad, sad ...
Don't know if my English is good enough, but for sure you'll understand what I mean.
Hervé
