[@andrewdwight3443]

@@genericuser-1 no but he did help stop a lot of little boys being raped by grown men in the villages in Afghanistan, sadly that practice is back in place now that he is gone. He also helped secure the hospital which was one of many that gave free healthcare to all citizens in Afghanistan no matter what and was paid for by his tax money. He made it safe enough to rebuild 4000 miles of roads and 388 bridges, plus provide electricity to over 70% of the country, he also helped deliver over $66 Billion dollars worth of food, $20 Billion dollars worth of lifesaving medicines, and kick out the evil Taliban who again would come into villages and rape all the boys 12years old and younger. Speaking of which, the poor women of that country were actually allowed to get an education and not have their clits cut off at birth so they can not enjoy sexual pleasure, they even were allowed to show their faces. Insecure men over their hid their women, I say women, but a lot of them married girls as young as 6. Before he got there a 9-year-old girl bleed to death on her "wedding" night when the 58 year old pedophile she was forced to marry, had nonstop sex with this little child. So hopefully that helps clear up what he did over there since you have so many questions. Since I know you will ask, here is your other answer... Yes, the Taliban ran and hid like little girls from the American forces in Pakistan and most of the were crying while running away, it was so un-manly that it was embarrassing to watch bearded men cry but they did as they ran away, I am sure part of it was that they wouldn't get to rape little boys anymore but they were just pussies!

Celebrate his life, dont mourn it. Celebrate all those memories, be happy you had him, most dont anymore have their dads around at all or minimally. Were taught, programmed to be sad, cry and hurt over it but we know everyone will pass so we need to change how we view death and make it like thats it but its not. We still have memories and those you wanna keep strong. I dont want my loved ones to hurt over me passing. I dont want them to feel pain and ask "why?" I want them to celebrate my life on earth and with them. Smile and have a good time then get on with life. Im sure your dad would want the same. Its easier said than done but stay strong. Im sorry he went through cancer but he's not doing it anymore. I wish you the best and I'm sorry. It does get better.
