Remember your dad is in a better place, looking down at you hoping that you will remain the same as you, when when he left. You asked "why did it happen to him", there isn't a reason why it happened to him. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was your best friend you said in your topic, but i know he was a great dad. I'm not sure what i would do if i lost my dad, or any loved one for that matter. Try to think how your dad would want you to keep living to the fullest, and once your time comes (hopefully it won't be any time soon) you will see your dad. That is depending on your religious beliefs of course. Hope you get through this rough time.
I'm very sorry that happened to yoru Dad. I'd be very proud of a daughter like you and I'm certain he was proud of you. You can't bring him back into your life but you can honour him in the way you grow up to adulthood.
I agreez
I'm so sorry...
