Dad Brian Ramsey It just hit me like a mac truck that you have been gone for 2 years now, I still don't understand why it hurts so much after everything you've done, but it does and I miss you. I pray everyday that you made thing right with the Lord before you left. Though I wish you were a better man and maybe you'd still be here and would get to see me turn into a better man
I’m sorry for your loss @patrick79843 
I lost my mom to alcoholism 7 years ago last month. Losing her sent me down a very dark path in my addiction. I felt like I had to relive it all over again when I first got sober and it was recommended I do things to try to connect to her like write her letters and talk out loud to her. We’re here for you!

My dad died from a really bad drug overdose
I’m so sorry! Losing a loved one to this disease is very hard- but he’d be proud of you and how far you’ve come! I know my mom would be too of me! Are there things he liked to do that you could feel close to him by doing? I knew my mom liked going on walks when I was really young before things got bad so I go on long walks a lot when I miss her.

Hi, Patrick. I'm not sure if you saw my reply in the chat group. I know your pain. It's hard. My dad has been deceased 9 years. My kids won't know him. He didn't live to see me get married. I am Christian- so I leaned on Jesus to get me through. Without Him I could have been in Rachel and your shoes.
I'm here for you. Thank you for being part of our community.
