He fought Idio pulmonary fibrosis and copd for a while and eventually had to be on oxygen 24/7. But he always had a smile or a laugh to share.
He loved my scaley pets
He encouraged my love of reptiles.. bet he never expected that one day I’d have a few .. but he loved them and was fascinated by thier little personalities. We are really going to miss him.. EDIT: Thankyou so much for the outpouring of love and positive vibes! I’m going to show my mom all of the amazing comments and support that has been given by the imgur family!

I don't know if it helps but someone once said to me; "They didn't leave the house, he's just in a different room."

I lost my step dad to cancer Dec. 2016. Lung cancer. He adopted 3 girls. Me and my sister's lucked out. He chose to be a father. I miss him

Yep, my juvenille fractured my finger once.
youdontknowmeormydog
As a stepdad to five i have the upmost respect to him. Sorry for your loss. I lost my stepdad 2 years ago its hard but I hear him in myself
youdontknowmeormydog
Four not five that was a typo. 2 girls 2 boys. Not sure I would have survived all girls ;)

Thanks for this soulful insight
HandsomeJackWilshere
Being a stepdad must run in the family
youdontknowmeormydog
Well i do get my eyes from him. I actually predict ome of my son's will become a stepdad
HandsomeJackWilshere
Your eyes? Also I want to clarify my joke was not to spite your comment, it's very sweet. But I'm an ass so what can you do
youdontknowmeormydog
I took it as that. People use to tell me I had his eyes its funny, and people can't beleve my youngest isn't blood as he's a clone of me
AshenHeart88
He might not be blood, but his influence and love will shine in you :)

WHY are we not treating Age as a disease? How many millions more must wither and die from this disease?
ArgonSpark
It's part of the human experience. What makes life special if it cannot end?
doinglordswork
Oh come on. Who wouldn't wanna avoid death and live forever? I'd be so much happier knowing I won't die one day.
ArgonSpark
And watch my wife die? And my kids? And their kids? Hard pass on that tragedy.
doinglordswork
IMO it's worth it.Why do you think you wouldn't watch your wife die anyway? Could be either way.
AManWhoWasntThere
Sorry for your loss...i still can't deal with my grandmother (mother of my dad) and her sister being gone for the last 5 years...
AManWhoWasntThere
Christmas time is specially tough...i even miss the last times where they really had some troubles while eating and all of that...
AManWhoWasntThere
But their smiles made everything good..like there was no troubles at all.

Just cool you felt the need to make that completely irrelevant statement about a person who didn't even mention smoking in their message.
