think it’s important I post this. Don’t let my post count fool you. I’ve been around a long time.

I have been so thankful for this forum. Great mods, great people, always a place for knowledge.

I’ve seen the births, the good times, the funny stories. Like the great battery scam for those who remember.

However, the posts that always got me, the ones I remember, were about the loss of parents, especially the dad’s.

I tried to comment on them all, I could simply not imagine the pain someone would feel.

Now I know and I wish to god I did not. My dad passed away. He fought cancer till the bitter end and never broke stride.

He worked up until a month within his passing and even after he retired (he was just to tired) he still wore a suit every day.

He loved people, he loved his dog, and I know he loved me. He had to move in with my wife and I for the last year, we did our best to care for him, he knew he was loved.

I know what’s coming when I post this. I’ve seen it all to many times, your sympathy is appreciated and I thank you.

But, Let me ask you a favor, If your parents are still with us, Call them. Tell them you love them, talk to them.

I go to call my dad every day and I just Can’t and that will never change. I would do anything to get his advice.

69 years old. Love you dad.
