But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (1 Thessalonians 4:14)
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (1 Thessalonians 4:15)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:18)

It is never easy to loose anyone but when your parents leave it is a major shock. Somehow we always think they will always be there for us but of course that can never be.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please do not blame anything for this as it is simply the way things are. Time will heal this wound. Simply give it the time it takes to gain the perspective you need to go on. Trust me, for you, the best is yet to come.
Don't worry, he will still take care of you.
I am so sorry to hear that, and to answer part of your question ..... Yes, he is still there and always will be.
I cannot answer the "why"..... that is something beyond our comprehension no matter how you view your Higher Power.
I had to say good-bye to my Father a few years ago and was fortunate to spend some time doing what we enjoyed most .... flying.
I feel him around, and can hear him chuckle when I do something stupid, lend an ear when I'm troubled, and give me a wink when I've accomplished a goal.
I have a place I call my shelf. It's where I keep those who have gone before me, not to forget, but to know where they are when I want to visit with them, for constantly carrying the burden of grief is far too heavy a load.
My thoughts are with you.
I didn't actually say good-bye to my Father but had a feeling it would be the last time I saw him in person.
A few weeks later I received the phone call.
There is nothing I can say to relieve your pain, and know how difficult and surreal the world may seem right now. Just know that he is with you, wherever you go.
Try to concentrate on your entire relationship and not only a few select years that have you feeling down. You are strong, probably got a lot of your drive from him, and will be just fine.
My girlfriend was from Burma and had come to the USA when she was young.
Her father had some very hard-stance views and did everything he could to separate us. He won out in the end and she later married someone he approved of, yet it didn't last.
I didn't like the way my, now, Son in law treated my daughter, but swallowed my own stubbornness and everything has turned out better than I could ever hoped for. She saw something in him, I was blind to.
It is late where you are at, I hope you can get some sleep and have sweet dreams about good times.
