i lost my daddy 1 yr ago he raised me all my life. i had some troubled teenage years and we got through that. then in 2000, i moved out with my 3 year old at the time, and started my life with my current husband, i only moved across town but we had more children and i didnt see my father as much as i wish now that i would have. he had some drinking problems in the past and was sober for 10 years. he was a vietnam vet so he definatley had the p/t/s/d and when i moved out at some point he began drinking again very heavily! he was taking care of his mother there and the pressure was getting to him! i did not have any idea that he was destroying his body. one day my grandmother called me and said that he was sick and couldnt get out of bed i rushed over and called 911. the doctor at the hospital told me that he would not leave the hospital alive i lost my mind that day. 2 weeks he hung on with vigorous treatment. he passed away 2 min before i got to his room and i lost my world that day!!!
