[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 291129, member: 831"] When my Dad died a few years ago, I didn't really feel anything either. I hadn't seen him for about seven years and hadn't spoken to him in about five. The man systematically destroyed all the love and affection I tenaciously clung to until I finally had enough. My sister, who lived close by to him, called me to tell me he had been hospitalized. The man had a myriad of health problems because of his heavy drinking over the years, but now they found prostrate cancer and it had metastasized throughout his body (the doctor told my sister it was the worst case of prostate cancer he had ever seen in someone still alive). The next morning my sister called to tell me he had died during the night. I was shocked (he was 65), but not upset or sad. I did drive out to help my sister go through his few belongings and arrange for his cremation. That I did for my sister, not him. I don't miss him, or regret not seeing him. I just don't feel much of anything. The man continues to be an enigma, and a stranger to me. [/QUOTE]
