If you think appropriate, please post contribution link for Christion&family. If my father had passed at Christion’s age, life would have been tough.
Hang in there Christion, friends you don’t know you have will be supportive

{{{Christion}}} like many other people you’ve never met, I am holding you up to the light tonight.
It’s been 19 years and 6 days since I lost my dad, when I was about as young as you are now. We are never old enough to lose our parents.

So sorry to hear, my condolences.
Scamp Dog
Condolences to Christion and family! Christion isn’t that old, IIRC, so I imagine his dad isn’t all that old, either. Not that there’s a good time to lose your Dad, but I imagine they both thought there’d be many more years ahead.

I’m sorry to hear about Christian’s father. And I guess that you, Cole, and the fur faces that you share your home with will be some solace for him, going forward. Give Christian a hug.

Condolences, Christion. Take comfort in the fact your dad must have loved you, and Cole as a good friend.
Now the advice-giver in me: Cole, help raise funds for him. From recent memory I can tell you this: even in the not-quite-unexpected situation (my mother was 95), the things you suddenly need that will cost: clothes for the funeral. Gas money for mom has she runs around making arrangements. A dinner/breakfast/lunch for those moments when nobody feels like cooking. A hotel room (sometimes). Sometimes just an escape, like a movie or a walk somewhere to talk privately.. So if his family needs it (they probably do) post a link. If you/Christion needs it, just ask us and we will give generously so that you aren’t a burden on them.
