   And I just wanted to say that I can NEVER thank you all enough for the Tremendous amount of Support, when I was suddenly having to try to get my Dad away from my (So Called) brother and his wife, who were trying to put him in a nursing home and take everything he had AND THEN, when I lost my Wife on the 1st of July 2009, you all Once Again, put so much support behind me that I could never have gotten anywhere else. It's because of God and You All, that I got through THAT ONE! We are coming up on 2 years, after losing Brenda and I just wanted to take this time to Thank ALL of you who were there for me, during both of those times. That's what Family Does!
My Dad is doing fine, he doesn't have much memory of alot of things, but he STILL is showing No Signs of the Alzheimer's that THEY claimed he was in the 1st stages of, back in 2007! Now, while he might not remember alot, he DOES remember how they tried to railroad him and he can tell you alot of details of meeting my Mother and some of the things they did back them.  ;)

 Sure looks good to see that this place is flourishing so well.  8)

     Hey Tim! Man, it seems I just missed you. That's too bad! Yeah, still out there trying. Sure miss the days when we ALL were on here, doing our thing.  Haven't been here much myself and SOME have passed me up, on some things. Hope things are well with you and the Lady. ;)

          Yeah, I would do the same and have. But, you know we are family. I don't have much more than that, now days. This was the first forum I joined and I was really green about the functions of a forum and not computer literate at all (still not REAL computer literate, but I am getting better (slowly).  Even when I'm not on here much, I still think of you all and those who have left.
 
        Yes, we are doing pretty good and my Dad is doing REAL well, considering that THEY  (the S & S Team) claimed he was in the 1st stages of Alzheimer's a little over 2yrs ago. I credit my Dad's health to the doctors that my Wife Brenda got us started on taking him to, up here and I've tried to keep that up. Thanks for the kind words too Paul. ;)

  Thanks guy, I surely do appreciate the kind words from you as well. Lots of great folks here and they just seem to keep coming in here. Been a member here since Dec 2005 and they just don't come any better than this one. A Car Forum/Car Club I belong to, comes pretty close though.

                                          Thanks for posting,  Bill ;)

Hey Bill,
you know this is one of the few mc forums where people DO actually
care about each other.

   Hey Michel, Sure, I know that this IS one of the few where folks REALLY do care and a good example is the fact that MOST of the entries, on Brenda's Guest Book on the site that I have the link listed in my signature, were actually from SOHC4 "family". That STILL sets me back, when I go back and read those.    This place TRULY ROCKS!    Good to hear from YOU as well and see You still sitting in that "Chair" ;)

       Brett, Thanks for the concern and Buddy, I know very well, that the SOHC4 Bunch (Family) is there for me, I have felt that for some time now. Thanks for reminding me though. ;)

   Hey Tipper, Thanks, I'm still working on that. Today, is a milestone, as it has been 2 years ago on the 1st of July. Over this time, I have put up a good front, but it has not been a cakewalk. I think I have come to a realization and THAT will help. Good to know that You All are there though. And, as if I didn't KNOW that, it is quite evident, whenever I go to that link in my signature and see that MOST of the entires are from folks here. ;)

I have only been with momma for 12 years now.  If I lose her, i would be lost.  I hope I go before her.

Seeing you have made it this far is an inspiration to me.  So, you give some of us hope that we can survive as well.

  That's cool to have the years building with her. It IS awesome to have someone in your life, that means THAT MUCH to You and You to Her! Some folks don't manage to have that going for them. I Pray that you all have a nice LONG marriage and prosper.

  Thank you for the kind words too. I can tell you that it is an experience like No Other and if ANYONE ever needs any reassuring OR just needs to touch base or Unload even, I may not be online when you do it, but I WILL get back with them ASAP! I've gotten some support from some buddies over on the Great Plainz Modern Mopars and 1 member there, has "Been There" and he has been there for me as well.

                 Have a Great Day and Tell "Momma" I said hello. ;)

     Hey Paul, good to hear from you. Yes, I clearly remember your Sister passing and the happenings between Family and her husband. Too bad about the way things seem to be going with him and them having a baby and the kids feeling on that. Doesn't sound like they are very close, huh? That's too bad.

     Yep, THIS place will give a person Support, like no other. I don't know how I could help, but you should know that I am her if you ever need to unload or whatever. ;)    Hope you all have a Great weekend.
