    Sorry your dad has to retire. Now he can do some of the projects he's probably been putting on hold for years. It should give you guys plenty of time to spend together. Spend as much time as you can with him. I wasn't able to and I missed out on so much.

    Brian - Glad to hear that he is doing better. I lost my dad a year or two ago now and sure miss him. I am glad to hear that you get to spend time with him. Good luck to both of you!

    Almost every day - Lost my mom last Chrismas, Grandmother last November and Great Aunt (who was like my west coast mom) a couple of months before that.

    My last memory of my dad was getting him some ice cream when my brother wouldn't give it to him. He and I sat on the back porch like 2 - 10 year olds getting away with something. We were both very happy! He fell and hit his head died hours later. My brother tried to tell me that the ice cream is what made him loose his balance. Anyway I treasure the ice cream memory! :) ...but I miss his words of support! :(

    Give your dad a big ol hug from Simon and I and thank him for his selfless service, glad he is feeling better tho under the circumstances.
    ...also wish him the best on his retirement, now he can ride shotgun with you :D
