So sorry to hear of your dad's un-timely passing. That had to be and probably still is very tough to deal with.
It’s definitely not easy, I’m 41 and have no immediate family left I thought I would have another 20yrs atleast before I had to worry about that.

I know what you mean. My mom passed at 46, I was 21. No siblings either.

In the last 4yrs I have lost my grandpa,grandma and dad and I was 8 when my mom passed, I have siblings and my dad was the last of the family still logging so after 14yrs of crushing rock I quit and bought what I could from my dads estate and went back to logging so the family name would still be in the woods.
