(off topic) but I just need a hug.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to read and to answer. I am uncertain why this is hitting me so hard. I actually can not stop the tears. Why would this person's death be so tramatic for me? Is it because I am grieving in a way I know my dad can't? could it be the memory of the loss of my own friend? I just feel so bad.

Might it be because you are thinking ahead, to a time when it might be your dad instead of one of his friends?

We are sending great big hugs to you and Dad. The best gift you could give to him now is to be there for him. You don't have to talk....sometimes just being together, quietly, speaks volumes. I pray that you both will find peace in this sorrowful time......
