This is certainly not the place

For me to say this. But it is the only board I hang out on. I’m a 51 yr old Engineer. My Pops is an 83 yr old Engineer. Retired of course. After a tough week he is now in Hospice. The only words he spoke last week was “well....shite” when Ole Miss missed the 2 point conversion. He was in bed and I sat by him and watched. I am sure most of you can relate how college football can bring a father and son together.
In that incoherent speech I gave I ask for a quick prayer. And keep your Dad close when you watch games. And keep your son close. That is why we love this game so much. Sorry for the rule breaking and carry on.

Best wishes to your dad, thanks for sharing.

Went through that with my dad the last part of 2021 and he passed mid January.
Sorry for your dad being in hospice and College football is one of the lasting things we shared together.

Prayers. Just lost my grandfather and watched my father say goodbye to him. Much love and sincere condolences.

Amen bro been down that road. Praying for your dad and family.

Best wishes man I can relate. Once they start to decline it's crazy because that person who seemed invincible when you were little is now falling apart in front of you. Some things are bigger than football but made better by a mutual love of football.

Hopefully he gets to see one last bowl win

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. And thanks for sharing. We all poke, prod and hurl insults but we all know it is the fun to the game. Part of the deal our fathers taught us. At least that is my opinion. Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear about that. And I know you wanted to talk football with him this year.

I’m sorry to hear this. Hopefully you’ll eventually be able to be truly thankful for the gift that he was.

I’m so sorry. My dad degraded quickly (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) and basically responded the same after the 2014 Iron Bowl. I’m just glad the man got to witness Punt, Bama, Punt and the Kick 6 in person.
Take care friend and remember you’re not alone.

To speak the truth, I can’t handle it. Was there for both my grandfather’s passing. One as a kid, recently as an adult. It’s so sad and I honestly fell for you. Any loss is terrible, but the great men and women are leaving us everyday, realizing it more. Scares the hell out of me. Lost so many friends while in the military and that’s hard, but I still really haven’t accepted my grandfathers cancer and recent passing.

I am really sorry. I don’t think there is a wrong way to do this. Heard about Hugh Freeze taking the job at Auburn and the first/only person I wanted to discuss it with is Dad. That is what hit me tonight. I can read this board and discuss with all of you. Hang on tight with your Dad and talk football/basketball/baseball as much as you can. Arkansas does all of those sports really well! Just my old opinionated thoughts.

Thanks for sharing that story about your pops. I lost my father when I was 8. I’m 47 now and still miss him everyday. I lost my grandfather not long after Auburn’s national championship. He was happy to know that his “Aubun boy” got to see the game live. He still fondly remembered watching the 1957 Auburn national champion team play live. I will say a prayer for your father, you and your family.

I’m going to say that I have no room to complain. Losing your Dad at 8 years old is unthinkable. I am so glad you had your Grandfather with you a good bit of the way! But that humbles me knowing what you’ve overcome.
Blessings to you! And your Dad wasn’t too far off from my Dad’s age. Dad graduated in 1961. First in his family.

Bless you and your daddy and your whole family. I think this is a fine place for you to tell your story too. Prayers for you all, I was in the same situation with my mom last summer. It’s tough but I know you are and will always be glad you were there with him.

This is so true. Prayers sent and thanks for sharing.

Sorry you are having to go through that, my mom passed last month after an incredibly quick decline. In August she was fine, then 2 months in the hospital and gone. Cherish all the memories you made and try to remember they will always be with you no matter what.
