My dad passed away on Tuesday while he was at home with me.
He collapsed while trying to get out of bed (he was a decently large man) and I couldn't help him up. When my mom got home, we still couldn't get him up. At one point he said he needed to catch his breath, lay back down, and stopped responding to us. We called 911 and they worked on him for about 10 minutes before they took him to the hospital, where they worked on him another 10-20 minutes, but they couldn't get his pulse back.
The coroner said he is very sure it was an acute heart incident, as in a heart attack or he exerted himself too much and blew an artery. They won't be doing an autopsy because there was no sign of foul play, but they're cause of death seems reasonable to me so thats okay.
My dad was really the backbone of the family. I'm still in shock that he's gone.
Therefore, I'm 98% sure I will not be dancing anymore for a while. The next week/couple of weeks are going to be the toughest I've ever faced while I come to accept what's happened. If anyone interested in reading an article about my dad and his life, please check it out http://www.timescall.com/news_story.asp?ID=5875.
so I will probably be absent for a while, but i will try to keep checking in.

Losing a parent is everyone's nightmare. I read the article. It sounds like your dad was a really great guy. I hope you two had a good relationship that left you with great memories.
