I know how you feel. I lost my father quite a few years ago and for a long time I regretted the things between us that we weren't able to deal with. I have come to believe that death is the passage we make to the next phase of our life so that whatever wasn't dealt with in this life will be dealt with later.

Please don't give up your dream of being a dad. I feel as though I've gotten to know you a little through this board and I think you'll make a wonderful parent for some kid (or kids?). I'm sure that you are feeling overwhelmed right now so it's probably not the right time to make major decisions.

Keep posting to the board. I think you know by now that everyone on this board cares about everyone else.....Cheryl
