First of all, thank you ALL, so very much for your kind thoughts and words. Yes Curt, I got your wonderful voicemail. Thank you bud.

Today is my dad's wake, and so far everyone's taken things quite well.

I was lucky.. mom called me Monday night and asked me to come down as dad was agitated for some reason. My daughter and I went down, and I sat with dad for a while, and we talked for a bit while my mom tried to get some much needed sleep in her easy chair. I even made him laugh.
I put dad to bed, and sat watching TV with my daughter while mom slept for a bit, then she got up and wanted to go to bed, so daughter and I went home.

I got a chance to see my dad the night before he passed, and that was VERY special to me.

I'll be back in work on Monday, and hopefully will have a full blog then.

Thank you all once again.

Dave
