Hi All,

I know it’s been some time since I last wrote. A few things have changed. March 1, 2009 my dad passed away. He was not having any health problems so this shocked us all.

I guess the only reason I’m writing this is for me, so if you want to tune out go for it.

My dad’s wife (my step-mom) passed away about 18 months ago and we thought he would take it hard, which he did. But in his own way. My brothers and sister and there spouses did a great job in keeping him busy and focused on the living and the now. Even my own wife had him go on a trip with her and my sister-in-law.

I on the other have been busy on my own. Yes to busy to go see him but for a few time a year. OK, not so much busy as didn’t make time to go see him. Now he was OK with this as we were cut from the same stone.  The other difference is he wasn’t lazy, I am.

I only have had my dad back in my life for about 20 years or so. (Long story and I’m not going in to it) I really didn’t know how much he loved me. Yes he said it and I believed him but I really didn’t know until the will was read. He took the time to add a few line in there that I will never forgot.

So do me a favor. Today, tomorrow and everyday after this look at the people you love and tell them that you love them. And don’t just say it, Say it!

Remember what the song said “Don’t blink”

I love you Dad. Thanks for being in my life! You da man…
