    Thanks bud.
    I hear you.
    I know I can manage this.
    I have to. Winter isn’t helping but I’m holding my own just.

    I gotta say the taco has been awesome!
    Has not skipped a beat and I’m over 170k.
    Thank you everyone!
    Still pretty hard to read the whole thread!

    I’m 52 dad was 78
    We know with age it’s inevitable but still wasn’t ready.
    No warning heart attack they say.
    His passing has become easier to take although he’s missed.

    I am and sorry for your loss.
    Our later years became some of the best times.
    Seeing him with the grandkids and great grandkids was awesome.
    Wish everyone could have that.
    I worry about mom alone and hurt.
    Don’t want her giving up now.

    So sorry for your loss. My Dad passed 3 years ago I was 56 Dad was 95. Worst Day of my life. COPD killed him very slow. we had plenty of time to revisit stuff. Send me a PM if you need to vent. That Day still brings me to tears.

    I lost my dad at 15, widow maker. Mom only lasted a few more years, cancer and lupus. I still feel lucky I had that, a lot of folks didn’t. I’m 61, mind is 25, body is well 61.

    I do appreciate everyone here.
    Wasn’t really sure how I’d handle it.
    Being old I felt I had to be strong for my family and I have been.
    Putting my emotions out here when no ones looking.
    You’ve been amazing friends.

    Thanks bud.
    Gotta be hard watching him go through that. Mom just beat breast cancer last year.
    Knowing that we had spent a lot more time together.
