I have the latter and it's as if he is dead anyway. I would trade it for the former in a heartbeat.

VendettA12	Posted Jan 12th, 2009 at 3:49PM This shouldn't be difficult to choose. I had a wonderful relationship with my dad that died when I was 16, and I had lots of friends who have absent fathers or divorced parents. I wouldn't trade places with any of them. Everyone dies, the question is how they live and love while they are alive. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Tinkerbell2	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM I would rather have a father who loved me and passed away seeing how the father I have should be in prison for what he has done and is a complete waste of space. Rated: +1Vote for this!
swatches	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM I would rather have a father who loved me ad has passed away. The years we spent together brought us closer and I wouldn't change it for a minute.

biscuits	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM I prefer a passed father that loves me & shows it even after death, for there is still very clear evidence of that fact repeating itself in my very own being & values. Rated: +1Vote for this!

underconstruction	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM Obviously the first option. Even if briefly you will always know you were loved unconditionally. The second choice is truly depicable but sadly , way too common . Rated: +1Vote for this!
