My Step Dad died last night.

He was a hell of a man you guys. He was tough, honest, and he treated my mother like gold. More of a father to me than my own father. I just booked a flight to Omaha to be with my mom.... I know I am not the most popular poster on this board but I am asking for some prayers, please. My mother is in bad shape right now and I am worried about her.

It was sudden. I guess he drank some medicine because he had a colonoscopy coming up. He broke out in a cold sweat and passed out. My mother was on the phone with 911 and he died en route to the hospital. He was 60 years old.

It is a cruel, cruel world you guys.

May you and your mom find some peace during this trying time. BTW, don't underestimate this board...we may beat the crap out of each other like teenage brothers, but we've got each others' backside covered when it counts too imo. Be well Kyle...

I suck at being a step-dad. It can be very difficult and demanding. Yours must have been quite a remarkable man to have made such an impression. Godspeed to him and prayers for your mom and you.

My Dad died this same day in 1989. I know how you feel. There is an emptiness that will never be filled. Be with your mom. Talk about what a good man he was. Talk about things that made you laugh. Prayers out to you and your mom.
