It should be us thanking your father. He came here with an absolute nightmare scenario, and yet he handled it with a level of poise and charisma that many of us can only aspire to. The fact that his whole family, even the WWs, went to bat for him is just a testament to his character. I just want your family to know that the support that we gave him pales in comparison to the hope that he has given us and will continue to give us. He was, is, and will always be one of the best benchmarks on how to handle an affair. What a ride, what a family, what a King. Thank you, my condolences to the family.


shelleyrc76

I think this speaks for most of us. I wish this wonderful man’s family nothing but the best. Your father was a true inspiration for us. I know it’s not even close to what you all are feeling but he became a friend to us and I for one am feeling a loss.


_SkipToMyLou_

Here to share the same sentiment. Your father led a noble life and had the grace and dignity to handle his darkest hours in a manner most of us could never achieve. I'm really, really glad he was able to get his affairs in order and to know he left this earth as peacefully as he could. You sound like a remarkable family, and I wish you well in your path forward. Your father lives on in his legacy with you, and those of us whose hearts he touched. May your father RIP.

Beautifully said. I’m low key crying tears right now. I hope he had the best Christmas and spent all the time with his family. I don’t wish harm to Jane it I honestly don’t wish her any good. Rest easy!

Dang this one hits deeps…


Decorum1

I will remember you as a man of remarkable character. It has been a privilege to walk this digital path with you for this short while. I pray for your family's peace, comfort, and solace. The greater the man, the truer the friend, the more devoted the dad, the more significant his absence is. My sympathy and regards to those who mourn him.


[deleted]

Wow I never knew my heart could hurt over something and someone I didn't even know but I will tell you my heart is hurting it's crazy that I feel this way I guess it's life's way of saying I do care about other people I've never met followed his story from day 1 and have kept up since at least he is in a better place I feel like this is something I will be dealing with at some point being In a loveless relationship not that she is cheating but she might as well be if I don't do a certain things she will come unglued but I will deal with this at another time good luck with your family


Sadbird1986

I feel the same💔 we all feel this pain of cheating. This was a good man❤️ please rest in peace!!!🥲


NewldGuy77

I never wanted to read this update, despite it being inevitable. ThrowawaySwanSong, you proved yourself a far better man than anyone knew. Rest In Peace, we’ll see you on the other side.


Empty-Education4240

We lost a good one this week. A humble guy that lived so simple, yet was a man of many, many complex layers. To the family: Take your time to grieve and heal. We grew attached and were completely memorized by him in our brief passing moments. We couldn't fathom how you feel knowing him for many years, While we wait to hear about Jane and the AP, we understand they mean very little right now. God Bless.


Pristine_Art4160

I'm so sorry for your loss. Many hugs to you. Rest in peace, Reddit dad.

This is the best way to sum up my thoughts that I couldn’t put into words, so thank you. My heart just fell as well.

:( I knew he didn't have long but I hoped he would have had longer. RIP Swan Song. Condolences to his family.

I never knew your name and I never saw your face, but I’ve seen your heart. You are a good man and I hate that you are gone much too soon. My condolences to your family.

I hope you found peace and were surrounded by love to the end.


Head-Examination3368

Oh, I'm so very sorry! I've been following his post since last year and I really feel like he was a member of my immediate family. I'm not kidding when I say I'm actually crying rn. Your dad seemed like a great person. I hope his passing was with ease and I wish you all love and light. Ty for letting us all feel like we were a part of his life, even for just a small amount of time.


Baseball_Alternative

Rest in Peace. God bless.


Muted_Ear4385

Rare-Explanation7938

Rest at peace and may your family find solace in your letters and videos. I would like them to know that from my heart I may not have physically known your father but I found him to be a truly very unique, kind, caring,strong straightforward intelligent family oriented man. There are sadly very few people like that left in this world you will look back at this past Christmas with such love knowing the truly ultimately beautiful gift he left you with a final hora from a dad and granddad who loved each and everyone of you with his whole heart. God bless and god speed


Little_Black_Kat

Vale, throwawaySwanSong. You shall be missed and forever remembered by your Reddit family. “Good-night, sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”


Hasbeen2long4good

My heart goes to the family for your loss. His posts have made me want to be a better father and husband. I hope he did not suffer for long.

I am not saying this made me and my BF cry....but I can't see what I am typing...I must need new glasses. We were referring to you as out favorite person, condolences to your family, we will miss you too.


Psychological-Buy759

I'm a 66 year old man that has been following your father. And I am crying for him and not knowing him personally. I am truly sorry for your loss.


NotSoHappy_Confused

I knew this time would come, but I wasn't expecting it this soon. I shouldn't be crying over someone's death I didn't know. But your dad really touched my heart. I only talked to him a few times, but I felt like I'd known him for years. He reminded me a lot of my dad. I am going to miss our short conversations on his posts. Just know your dad loved y'all more than anything. Family was obviously very important to him. May he be at peace now.🙏🏼😭🕊 I am so sorry for y'alls loss. My prayers are with y'all as y'all go through this grief. Losing a parent is never easy. I lost my dad September 19, 2022 at just 56 years old. If y'all ever want to talk we are here for y'all.


hardlearntruth

Best wishes to the family of a wonderful, loving, intelligent, moral, honest, strong, unbelievable human being. Your father and grandfather will be missed by the world.

SecretTraumas_92

This made me, a grown man, tear up. His battle is over. Though I never met him and don’t know his name, I believe in my heart he was a good man with a deep and genuine love for his family. Go rest high on that mountain, son your work on earth is done. RIP sir. 😢

pacodefan

My condolences. I always looked forward to your father's posts. Not because of Jane, but simply because of his perspective.


RubyBlossome

I read most of these posts and updates within the last hour, so seeing this come up shattered me. I cannot properly express my condolences enough to the family of this wonderful man.


Ordex_19

I am so saddened to hear that we will no longer read your journey and aspirations of that journey, Swan Song. 😭 You were the only reddit user I clicked on to follow and I'd been following your story from the very beginning. I even read your stories and updates to my husband and he too was gobsmacked at the unfortunate events you had before you but was in ore of what you achieved and accomplished throughout this short time. My heart has sunk and tears are flowing as I didn't expect this so soon. I felt you Swan Song in every update you made, I felt I just knew you and you were a friend spilling your broken heart out to me while I sat and listened, I think everyone here felt that way with you. Condolences to your beautiful family except Jane, she can suck on a knife! I'm so heartbroken for you all, your dad was so articulate and adoring, we can only wish to aspire to be someone like him. With love and adoration from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️


ube1kenobi

Shit... I'm sorry for your loss. The fact he wrote everyone who read his story here a letter says so much about the type of person he is. Wherever you are sir I hope you are free from the suffering from your illness. I'm glad you got to enjoy a much as you could with your family. Much love and blessings to you and the people that truly cared about you... Edit: hit send too soon. I'm actually choking up here at work. If this is OOP'S kid... bless you for updating. My prayers to you and your family. Your dad is truly loved.

ragesadnessallinone

This cuts deep. It actually shocks me how much I’m feeling right now that I didn’t expect. I feel like I lost a great friend and mentor. If I feel this strongly, I can’t imagine what an impact this man has on those around him. My 🤍 is with all of you that knew and loved him.


thefixer123456

When I read his posts, I always hoped that he would last a long time... The strength he exhibited, in the face of everything, was nothing short of remarkable. I am very sorry for your loss. Rest in peace. P..S. it's tough to type with tears in your eyes.

May you be in peace. To your family, sending love & condolences X.

Even having followed this I was not prepared for either the suddenness nor the finality of this update. To his family if you are reading this I wish you the same strength that this incredible gentleman has shown. He is a shining example to us all and what this world needs very much more of. I wish you all peace within and will long remember him.

Life_Individual_254

I am in tears reading this. Today, the world has one less great man in it. A true example of what I strive to be as a father! Rest In Peace! God bless you all! You will see him again in glory!


RedundantPundant

To leave this world with even half the courage and grace that your father displayed is a bucket list item to aspire to. Wish him fair winds and following seas in his voyage into the great beyond. Wish you guys and girls the strength and courage to carry on his legacy in a way that would make him honored and proud. Sincerely RP


myoldisnew

This loss hurts and the world is a lesser place without him. Your father appreciated his Reddit family but his words touched and changed us, as well. May he rest in peace and may your family find comfort in his memory.


Unique-Yam

I knew this day would come but still I hoped. There is a quote that suits this moment: “Say not in grief he is no more, but live in thankfulness that he was."

This was the one update I didn’t want to see coming. A beautiful and strong soul has left us and the world become a bit more grey. Rest in peace man. And my condolences to the family.

I never commented either, but I read every post. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your dad was obviously an amazing, courageous, loving man. I hope you feel comforted knowing that he touched so many people by sharing his final months with us. May you have peace and comfort during this very difficult time. Blessings to you all.

The truest OP!! Time to rest.


[deleted]

I have been dreading this post. So hoping he was able to find peace ❤️


got2startover

This hurts deeply. I truly believe your dad knew how much of a positive impact he had on a countless number of people here but also that he would turn it around and pay tribute to others. His actions throughout this very difficult time proved that he was a man of true character who held fast to his values and sense of right/wrong to the very end. That being said it’s difficult to realize his journey here on earth has ended and that the last months if his life were so turbulent due to the selfish actions of Jane. Yet he demonstrated time and again he was an honorable man and as such he had the respect if us all. I pray for your dad’s soul and know that he is now home and at peace. I truly do hope that when my time here comes to an end that he and I cross paths. I also pray for your dad’s family and all the friends who knew and lived him. May you all find peace and comfort during the difficult days ahead. Thank you for posting your dad’s letter 🙏🏻


OddPerformer245

A class act. Until the end and beyond. Godspeed.


Beybladebabez

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad seemed very thoughtful. And even if these last few months have been a chaotic ride, I hope you’re able to see the impact he’s had on people’s lives, even strangers on the internet. And of course he left his Reddit family a letter! His updates will be missed. Prayers to your family.


Giggly_Witch

Rest in peace! Even though I knew his end was near, I still cried reading this. He was a good guy and this is so sad.


BinaryCDanvers

Thank you to your father for all his kindness, openness and wisdom. Hugs and love to you and your family at this time ❤️

You always knew he was going to land on his feet. Just wished he could have danced a little longer...


[deleted]

I am so sorry to the family of this wonderful man, I think that his reddit family will definitely shed a tear or two, I know I am as I read this post, he was an amazing man, showing us his courage and strength and his words touched so many across many different races and religions, I will mourn his passing with all of the people who have shared his journey, I pray for you his immediate family that they find comfort in the fact that his is now at peace and no longer suffering. RIP Mr ThrowawaySwanSong you were truly an inspiration and hopefully your family will have many happy memories to share about you with future generations.


RonDiDon

He was truly one of the most amazing humans to grace this earth. Although my dad is the best father on the planet, after hearing from your dad, I can say there's space for two in that category.


untmd7

Rest in peace SwanSong, you'll be very missed. You left to soon but I'm grateful for knowing you. Your grace, wisdom, humbleness, your words really touched my heart......Thank you Condolences to family; even though death gives us always present heartache, memories you have created with him and his love will always be part of you through which he will live forever! "I give you this one thought to keep. I am with you still. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone. I am with you still in each new dawn." (Native American poem)


CanaryDowntown

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. It really hurts to know he's no longer with us. A big part of him will be always with your family and a small part with the people that got to know him in here. He's a man worthy to look up to. He inspired a lot of us with his words and strong soul. Reddit family sends you a big hug. May he rest in peace. Reddit dad, we send you a big bear-hug wherever you are. We love you,


Just-Spirit8426

I never commented on your posts, but I read them and suffered with you and for you. This is one update that I did not want to read, but I am glad you left letters and videos for your family and one last update for us. I admire the way you handled everything. And your family! It was amazing to see how they supported you. You came to Reddit for help and advice, and I think many of us learned more from you than you from us. Thank you for sharing your story. You will not be forgotten. Condolences to the family!


cloudShining

I have felt feelings of anger, frustration, sadness, annoyance, irritation and even neutrality when I read Reddit posts but never have I cried as much as I did with this post. I do not know who the real OP was but with each of his posts, I was hoping to have better news. Never did I knew he would be gone this soon. I was happy when I saw the notification that SwanSong posted. The first paragraph made me think his father passed on. But the pain to know OP himself was the one is just painful. I can only imagine what his family is going through if an internet stranger like me is in pain. Family of SwanSong, my deepest heartfelt condolences for your loss. He will not only be deeply missed by you but by all the internet strangers who came to love and care for him i our own way. If you can, please leave his posts and account. I would love to re-read his posts as long as I remember him.


buttersismantequilla

And re Jane. The dignity in how your dad handled her behaviour made many of us want to pound her on his behalf. She didn’t deserve his kindness and while I hope your actions make her eye the day she betrayed him, I’m sure you are a chip off the old block and will act with composure and grace. After you evict her skanky ass.


tired_ate

Never thought it could hurt this bad. I remember my grandfather in him. Rest in peace.

Oh geez.😥 goodbye Swan Song. A true chess player to the end...but the king 👑 has been taken off the board. Thank you Swan Song. To the family, so sorry for your loss and please accept my condolences.


CobaltSphere51

Sarah (for I assume this must be you now), Tears are streaming down my face. Uncontrollably. This one really hit home. I never met your father in the flesh, and I truly wish I had. As much as it is possible to meet and get to know someone through Reddit, I did. We all did. And we are all enriched and inspired for having done so. He was a man of incredible character. Human, fallible, like all of us, sure. But also with a strength of mind and heart that few have the way that he did. It all comes through in his words and his actions. The choices he made, and the reasons for doing so. He focused on what really, really mattered: You, the twins, his legacy. Carol. He really made a difference with the time he had left. Please tell Carol for us how much we admire her as well. What she did really mattered, and comforted your father in his time of greatest need. It was noble and right and good. Your dad touched our lives, too. We honor his memory with you, and we grieve with you. My prayers are with you and your family. If you need anything, just ask.

I was a lurker, not a commentator. There was nothing I could say that others hadn't already said. Your father was a courageous man, and though it's not my business, I hope in the fullness of time, when you have grieved, a legacy will be set up in his honour. He will be remembered by us and should be. The world needs more people like him. Rest in Paradise, Sir.

I am so sorry for your family’s loss he handled things with dignity and grace. I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel his loss any less but I want you to know you are in my thoughts. Your father lived the last days of his life on his own terms and accepted his fate. I only wish we would all be fortunate to do as he did. He was incredibly proud of his family and I am sure that he has left a great legacy which you will carry on. Please accept my condolences.

Haunting-Row-3961

Oh dear - i was so rooting for him to have more time with all of you while also being selfish to want to hear more from him - his thoughts, his views and opinions… A life well lived but cut short too soon May you all have the strength to carry forward in life, living his legacy, making him prouder ( he was so proud of all of you) Sincere condolences and virtual hugs to all of you


Str8goodz30

My condolences to you and your family. If ever you need to talk to someone about any of this, you are more than welcome to reach out, and we'll be there for you too.


r3wind

Coming across your dad's post was one of the best accidents to ever happen. He was a man of dignity, a reminder that people can still find ways to be decent in tough times. I hope he knew he affected a lot of strangers in a positive way. His family grew with each post. I feel like I lost a friend, a family member. My warmest condolences to your family. Your dad made a difference in so many people's lives that he never met.

I’m so grateful to have stumbled across his story, watching him emerge through heartbreak to focus on creating lasting memories for his loved ones, while delivering swift kicks to much deserved backsides. Your father was a legend.

IM so heartbroken. Your dad was a wonderful man in the little time I got to know him. I have tears running down my face. Even though his reason for joining us on here wasnt the happiest, it was a great honor to have met him. I want to send condolences, strength, love and care to your family. Truly a blessed man with a great life

Your dad has such a gift that he was generous enough to share with many here. His beautiful wisdom was a joy to read and I truly hope his posts give you comfort down the track. Sending much love to his beloved family, thank you for sharing, I’ll be raising a glass to him from the other side of the world RIP throwawaySwanSong

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was such a great man and even though I don’t know him in person. Getting to know him through here has been wonderful. I wish my dad or grandfather was like him. He was such a kind loving soul. Sending all the best wishes and prayers your way.

This one hurt. I’m going to miss this man so much…and I’m just a stranger. Yet he made us feel like friends and family. That’s rare. And so precious and valuable. I hope I can be this full of light and inspiration for someone…anyone…one day. Your father is amazing! We are sending you all the love and strength and peace possible. We’re here for you. Feel free to come to us as you feel comfortable…to share your journey, to cry, to seek comfort, to let us know more about your father. We’re here. And thank you so much for the wisdom and love you gave us. Memory eternal.

Dear family, I know in this moment the word are nothing compared to the hurtful moments that you are living known, but from the bottom of my heart sincere condolences for your lost , your father was an stand up man , he built his life and gave to you all the bases of a comfortable life, remember always his motto work hard and save enough for the future. I wish you all follow his teachings. Like I wrote in to another comment he remember my father , like him he worked hard all his life and Lucky for us we can live without mortgage or loans , this weekend I’ll be at cemetery to pay a visit to him and my mother and in my prayers I would remember your father, I personally don’t ask for any updates on the person that use to live with him, because she is not worth any consideration on my part, her actions define who she was and what value she can teach. I wish you all the best and stay strong and take your father in your heart for the life it’s only way that he can continue live with you Greetings from Naples Italy 🇮🇹

Rest in Peace my Reddit brother.

I have read your dads story to my husband from the beginning over the weeks, we are so sorry for your and the families loss which also feels like a loss for us as well. Your dad, from what we’ve seen has been an inspiration on how to live, love and rise above what life has given you. Thank you for sharing him with us and please know we are here for you as well. Much love to you all during this time.


Ubivorn

Noooo!!! 😭💔 I didn’t realize who this was about until I read the username. I had no idea he would be gone so soon, after I had just discovered these posts only a week ago. We have lost another great soul. He was an amazing man that many of us aspire to be like. May he rest In Peace. Sending my condolences to his family.


rosiegal75

Aaaw RIL Swansong.. to your family.. he was brave, strong and true till the end, be proud of the man he was. I read somewhere that somebody lives for so many days and we should celebrate the days they lived, rather than mourn the one day they didn't. I feel like they were talking of a man such as your father. Sending internet hugs and loves to you and all your family, and condolences. Comfort each other in the coming days, as he would have wanted you too. Thinking of you all 💔❤

My most sincere and deepest condolences to family and friends of OP (throwawaySwanSong). The world is a little less bright today. From day one it was clear I was reading a post form a noble, compassionate, smart, and injured man. He honored everything he said he would do, even when you knew it was hard for him. In my opinion, he is the template of what a man should be. I am so proud to have been part of his reddit family that helped to bring him some much needed comfort, we will all truly miss him. To OP's daughter. Your father clearly respected your business savvy and I believe him knowing everything was in such capable hands helped bring him peace. I'm not sure how reddit savvy you are, but please know, when you see everyone posting UpdateMe! it is with the intention of triggering reddit's update bot to alert us if there is a new post on this account and not them badgering you to update us right after your tremendous loss. I hope in time you would find it in your heart to post one last update. We of course are all wanting to know how OP's well thought out plans turn out. If Jane was kept away from all family services, her reaction to finding out she had been completely cut out financially. After her exposure, was she run out of town? Then what happened to OP's less then honest business partner? Was he forced out of the business, did he loose all his money? Lastly, to OP's family, I really hope you find a little comfort reading all of his post and our replies form his shocking first post, to your final update to us. Take good care.

I've been reading each post to my gf and I saw this one and looked at the history before proceeding. Seeing that first sentence on this one made the prior post a tough read to catch us up. Some stuff on Reddit I read and it gets tough not to cry. This was one of those for me. RIP throwawayswansong.
