Hanging out here with all y'all has helped me with dealing with his death. I thank you all very much for that.<br /><br />But, my mother-in-law, though not my favorite person in the world was still someone I was beginning to accept as a decent person, was murdered by one of those 'rehabilitation' hospitals three years ago. That trauma I think is going to be a long-time to heal, if ever. My wife from losing her mother in such a foul way and me from dealing with my wife's trauma. So, I know how you feel about what I expect your father went through from the way you phrased your post.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-38031907502825278472017-02-28T18:36:49.632-08:002017-02-28T18:36:49.632-08:00I know the feeling, Sarge.
