        You know, down in my heart, I've known for sometime that this forum is "THE BEST" there is and the support and concern, I've received from you all is another reason that it is SO GREAT! Every single reply, does so much and strengthens the bond that I already felt existed here! I can never Thank You All Enough!

         droopy,

                I know what you are talking about, when spoke of loosing your family members. About 4 and a half years ago, I lost my Mom. My Sister helped my Dad and us get through that time. About 6months later, we lost Mary (a close friend of my ours, that was like a favorite Aunt). Shortly after that, we lost my Father-in-law (He was special!). Shortly after that, we lost my Grandmother (my last Grand Parent). About 6months later, we lost my Sister. My Dad and my brother are the last main ones left and my Dad will be 82 on the 16th of July.

          I know that others have gone through, are going through and will go through and I hope I can be just as comforting to ALL those folks, as you all have been and are still being to me.

       Guys, If I might have just a minute of your time (oh, all right, maybe a FEW minutes then), I like to say "Thank You" to all those who offered encouragement, advice prayers and wished me well! I'll tell you mainly what rocked me! When my Dad was taken by my brother to the hospital a bit back, my brother then informed me that my Dad was missing some money from his account and it had something to do with his CDs. Since My Dad and I were the only ones that should have been able to access those, Dad accused me (behind my back. Dad's 81) Nobody bothered to approach me! According to my brother, about all I had left would be our last name. Needless to say, I was totally stunned at what I was told and to be told this by my brother wasn't good either! The difference between my brother and me is like the difference between daylight and dark!
I have concern about other, care what people think and take care of my business. And plainly put, my brother doesn't! Alot of the advice that was offered, I already knew. I was just So stunned by the accusation, that I just couldn't think clearly and had trouble keeping my mind on what I was doing along with trouble sleeping. I knew this was a great place and the way you all rallied around me was far more touching than you will ever know. You all are the greatest! I still have issues to take care of and get settled before I can get back to the projects though. Soon as I can, I'll get back on them and try to keep you all posted. Thanks again guys!

So, how is Dad doing?  How are you managing it all?

[bill440cars]

      Hey medic,
                 Well, Dad is slowly improving. He's been home about a week. He's on portable oxygen. He had double pneumonia and while in the hospital, they found that he also had emphysema and some heart disease. He's at home which is not far from where my brother lives (I live about 2 hrs away) My brother and his latest wife are taking care of him. I've been down a few times while he was in the hospital and I'm going down again some to see him and try to find out just where we stand. My circumstances keep me from going down frequently. I'm hoping to be able to get some things squared away so that I can more easily go down and spend more time with him. Thanks for asking.
