Thing's....

[Dean Romig]

And you have just written one more great tribute to a good man.

[C.O.B.]

Chris I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your father and friend. I know somewhat of what your going through as I lost a brother when he was just 17 and my father has been diagnosed with early stage Ahlzhimers among a plethora of other medical problems.

My father wasn't a shooter or hunter but had friends that were and through them he helped foster this addiction i have.

I have two quotes I'dike to share, one from my Dad and one from my Grandmother. These have served my well. From Dad "If it's worth haveing then it's worth working for". From Grandma "Quit bitching and save your breath..You'll need it when it's time to die".

Your Dad will always be with you, looking down and smiling at the positives in your life and you'll know when the knuckles should have been applied, and thats him to.

Chris, you have my heartfelt sympathy, and know that if we could lighten your pain, we would. However, the pain we feel now is part of the payback for the joy we got when our loved ones with were with us in body. It never does, nor should it, lessen, we just learn to temper it with the smiles that fond memories give us.
As for that guy who checks in on you; he's just that kind of person, and kept me company many hours when I was in and out off hospital last spring. We're lucky there are guys like that around. The ones who think to pick up the phone just to say 'howya doin?' are not so common as they used to be.
