My Dad was decided to retire then and there. We had a good, long summer together before I moved down to Little Rhody. It was a good time. I'm glad you had that time with your Dad.

She'd passed a year or so before then and the bank was starting to whine about lack of activity in the accounts. So we cashed out. Hurt it did.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-31928730379873583892014-03-01T07:41:03.009-08:002014-03-01T07:41:03.009-08:00Condolences.

Learned more about him and gained a greater respect for him in those 7 years than in the prior 48. The last couple of years, after his fall, as he slowly spiralled away were very tough, but I'd do them again in a heartbeat. Miss them both and no, the pain never goes away. God bless you and your Dad.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-14842517263121922102014-02-28T21:02:11.190-08:002014-02-28T21:02:11.190-08:00Thank you.Thank you.Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-52103303766262767992014-02-28T19:32:15.402-08:002014-02-28T19:32:15.402-08:00A lovely remembrance.

Guess what I miss is that opportunity, and for my sons to have been able to grow up knowing him.

The difference now I find is that the majority of time, when my mind touches on Mom, I can let it linger only a few seconds and then push on with other thoughts. But there's times when it reaches out of nowhere to bite you and other times, particularly for me, lately - weird story, I invested some of Mom's money after she died, it was for five years and it comes due on March 6th, my youngest's birthday and, of course, the day we lost Lex. I think it's because that money is coming due that I have been thinking so much more about her these last few months. I want and need that money. But I don't want it to come due. Because it feels like the last piece of Mom will then be gone.<br />Michelle Morgan-Coolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671529553739362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-87902340583864403792014-02-28T16:24:08.114-08:002014-02-28T16:24:08.114-08:00He was a great Dad.
