I just came back from the viewing, it was heartbreaking when his two year old daughter kissed her daddy on the forehead. I lost it in the car.

Chez1 replied to jaws86's response:

J, you know i can understand that envy but you need to find a different way to get that peace, something safe for you.
You have been through a hellish time but you must look forward and use some of that skills and knowledge that you have used for years on yourself.
Take very good care of yourself

I have NEVER felt peace. From childhood on up- no father figure. I even send my mom a fathers day card. She tried to tell me how to be a man- its not the same. My father died in Vietnam in 1969. I always wonder what my life would have been like if he was alive.
