60+ year old thread.

Respect ...

 

My wife passed away almost 2 years ago. I talk to her a couple times a day.

 

So sorry for your loss.

My mom (and dad) have both been gone since '98. Didn't have a cell phone then, or their number would still be in there. Sister who died in '05 - still have her # in there and want to call all 3 of them on a regular basis. Have lots of questions I want to ask them

 

So sorry for your loss

 

So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine.

 

Death of a loved one is part of life but at the same time the finality is saddening and filled with grief. Both my parents have passed, my mom quickly and my dad a long drawn out process. Not a day goes by that I do not miss them. Sometimes in my dreams I will ask for advise and get answers a lot of the times. At my 70th birthday dinner I raised my glass in a toast to both of them and I was proud to do so. Both taught me so many lessons in life and continue to teach and remind me even after passing. I am a most blessed man with a rich and full life due to them, my sisters and brothers and of course my wife and son.

 

Well stated Tom.

 

TY Rob. We are off for another fun filled vacation to Michigan. May the travel gods be good to us on this vacation.

 

Morning Folks . As I have gotten to this stage of my life, I look back at my parents lives and my inlaws lives as I was a part of theirs for many years. I have been looking at how my kids and Grandkids want to learn more about my family and the wifes family. That is one thing I didn't do as I was growing up and still have many questions that will never be answered. But life goes on and I do think about them all regularly. One thing I did find out was that my Dad went to boot camp for the Navy at Camp Sampson on Long Island NY during WW II and my Father-in-law was there 6 months later. I think what it would have been if they had been there at the same time. As I look back I try to remember all the good times I had as a kid and through to now. Life is good thanks to them.

 

Hopefully you have smooth driving and no RAIN Tom. I'm still thinking about an Ark....

 

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts experiences over the last 24 hours.

The recurring theme we all have in common is a deep and abiding love and respect for our departed family members.

Just another reason I look forward to the 60+ thread each day.

This place is loaded with quality people who love God, love family, and love our country.

So happy to be a part of this group

 

Good morning Susan, gang,
On the news, guess some were against a parade permit being issued for a Straight Pride parade. Being normal is not PC I guess.

In Boston.

 

I didn't hear or catch where it was at. Only a brief word on the news.

When I hired employees at the two stores I managed, I had to check approved documents to be sure I was legal hiring them. It was the LAW.

Morning all:

Things are getting topsy turvey Duane, was just recently that someone burned a gay pride flag and they are investigating it as a hate crime, but if you burn the American flag it's considered freedom of speech!

 

It seems the new contest is

How far from center can we get?

 

Exactly

Zero give and take or meeting in the middle on anything.
