My dad was my best friend. No doubt about it. He knew it, I knew it, and my mom knew it.
The first week of August this past year my parents decided to spend March in Madrid. They asked me if I wanted to join them. I said yes and promptly bought my plane ticket.
August 14th in the evening my dad called me and told me that he had decided to surprise me by paying for my plane ticket for me and that he had a check made out to me to reimburse me because I had already bought the ticket. He then asked me if I would come over that night and get the check. I had other plans so I told him I would buy him lunch the next day and get the check then. I could tell he was disapointed but I still went out anyway.
That was the last conversation I ever had with my father. He died 6 hours later of a massive heart attack in his sleep.
I can identify with you U2STW, and also Like02. My dad was also my best friend. I watched him take his last breathe at the hospital. I know that all 3 of us wish our dads were here with us. I know I do.
