I got a call early Saturday morning (4/28) from my mother informing me that my father had unexpectedly passed away in the night. This is was absolutely the most devastating news I've ever received because the man was only 55, basically healthy, and I'd just had a nice conversation with him on the phone Friday morning. I can't remember the medical term for cause of death but basically his heart failed in his sleep due to a weakening from chronic stress on the heart muscles.
I didn't post this to garner sympathy for myself but rather as a reminder to all of you to never miss an opportunity to tell your parents, siblings, children, or whoever you are close to how much you love them and how you appreciate all they have done to make your life what it is. The only thing more awkward than having that conversation is the sadness of not being able to.
