Last farewell to dad
Loading...
Uploaded by PeerLanda on Aug 12, 2007
Here is where my dad drowned August 3rd 2007 -- on a Waikiki beach in Honolulu, Hawaii.
As he stripped down, his last words were; "This is paradise!" and then chased after the waves.
This was the morning after my parents had celebrated their anniversary, and my impulsive (and not-too-shy) dad decided to take a swim in his undies while my mother sat on the beach a few yards away, writing her diary, (I was sound asleep at a nearby hotel after a long night at the billiards). Unfortunately, the lifeguard was attending a kid's cut foot the very same moment my dad went under water.
The soundtrack you hear is one of my dad's favorite -- Edith Piaf's "Mon Dieu" -- a song my mom and dad had listened to shortly before this very sad and unexpected accident.
Yet another huge void in my life.

my dad died because he shot himself. he was under presure. but i had depression for a month. the i started to be mad and be mean and finally stand up for myself. i feel good that i stand up for myself because i am who i am and no ones going to stop me.

so sorry to hear of your loss, try to find what you are grateful for, the times you had together, the special things he gave you and no one else, our tears are for our loss, because they are fine where they are, and would rather us be happy in life although they understand our human condition, i hope you find your peace
