How do you cope with this?

Question

I am "noticing" my dad is getting OLD!!

I know he will not be young forever, but I am not "coping" with this well at all!

How do/did you deal with this and if you have your parents still how do you not look at them like "OMG...you're times sooo short"!!

I am a Daddy's girl and he's all I've ever had to rely on and the things I am noticing are really freaking me out.

Answer 1

well let him know how much you love him and spend alot of time with him. and remember to  always think of the happy times you two had together and cherish them always

Answer 2

take advantage of your time together. We all go the same road and eventually you will join him, that is the nature of things.

Answer 3

Cherish the time you have together.

Answer 4

You might die before him. You never know. Maybe you should take your own life so you won't have to deal with the loss of your dad.

Or maybe you should just learn that "you're" means "you are". You should have spelled it "your". Duh.

Answer 5

Yesterday is History.Tomorrow is a Mystery, and Today is a gift.That’s why we call it the Present... Make the most of today because tomorrow is never guaranteed, cherish him and make the most of the time you have had and the time left, and when he is no longer here you'll have your memories to hold onto forever.  Hope it helps, I know it isn't easy.

hmmm well let me tell u this: i notice my dad getting the same way, and im only 14!!! woah, right? hes like 52 tho. and his hair is thinning, hes getting that "old man belly", and he has problems with his back/neck a lot...

i started to notice all of these things when my grandpa/his father passed away. i noticed my dad getting old!

im a daddy's girl too and i really truely love my daddy...

but the truth is, he is going to pass away some time in ur life. he is going to leave you physically. but he wont ever leave ur heart. he'll always be there for u no matter wat, just not in the physical body form.

ur father will always be with u.

Pray to God that when its his time to leave this earth, ask that He takes your dad in HIs hands... good luck, youll get throguh this x*x

Answer 7

the only thing that u can do is spend more and more time together w/him, i know u will feel sad everytime u see him and think about it, but what can u do, every one's time has to come sooner or later, and the best thing that u can do, is focus on the good w/him not the bad.Take care!
