I second this. My dad came into my room when i was studying for my exams and talked about his life, talked about valuable life lessons and he gave me great advice, at the time i didn't think much of it and to be honest i was a bit weirded out like where did that come from but he died 1 week later in his sleep due to heart attack. I still remeber his words and live by them everyday. Its been 11 years now and i am 25.

He was the most honest, respectable individual i have ever known. Everybody loved him and had nice things to say about him , never spoke a bad word from his mouth. A person to look up to.

I definitely think he knew it was time but he never showed it even in last days. He had a heart attack before and was admitted to hospital for 3 weeks and then he was cleared to return home and recover. After 2 weeks he then had another in his sleep and never woke up.

It shook us all actually because we thought it was over but it was false hope kinda thing. I wasn't so emotional at the time, i did cry my eyes out but i didn't grasp the loss of my dad until much later on in life. I guess when its your time its your time. I just wish he could have lived a little longer to see all his hardwork paying off because all his kids are all grown up and doing great in life, thanks to god.
