|  Dad died...
My dad passed away last week... he was 88 and died of natural causes..a small stroke perhaps. Frank and I were on a short driving trip when we got the news so it turned into a long trip and a week off work. He was buried next to his dad down near Palm Springs...and the local honor guard showed up and gave him a rifle salute since he was a WWII vet. He had been praying to die for some time.... he was ready....we all expected it.....still it has upset me more than I thought. I love him and didnt get to say goodbye...  . In his last years he went blind and turned into a born-again and even-worse-than-he-used-to-be judgemental old coot. It left his kids not wanting to be around him much..... and now I very much feel the error of that path.  Go hug your parents while you can.... |
