Man dude, i dont know you but im really sorry to hear that. I cant imagine what it would be like to lose my dad. Talk to your boss or something, im sure if you explain what is going on, theyll let you off. And if not, just go see your dad. You can get another job, even if its shit, but you should try to spend time with your dad. Sucks that stuff like this happens to good people, you seem like a really nice guy. I hope this all works out for you and i feel bad for you. Good luck with everything. Im sure everyones prayers are with you and i hope it helps.

**** dude, I'm sorry to hear this. You've gone through too much stuff already, you don't deserve this.

Sorry to hear about all the crap. My prayers go out to you. As far as your dad goes, I dont know where you work but if you have a Human Resource officer, you need to get with them. There is such a thing as "Family Medical Leave". It is law and they can not fire you leagley. At least that is my understanding. Check it out. I hope the best for you.

Peace, comfort and prayers.

x2 on the family medical leave.. they have to give you the time without it reflecting negatively on you

x3 on the medical leave. The actual bill passed by Congress is the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and there (by law) should be a poster describing which specific situations it applies to posted somewhere in your workplace.

I certainly sympathize with financially not really being able to afford to be off of work but if you were to take off to tend to your father during his last days and you were terminated as a result that is a crime.

Aside from all of that, add my name to the growing list of those who will have you in their prayers in the midst of all this unfortunate chaos.

Vaya con Dios
