    Sorry for your loss. We are here for you. I worry about my dad too. He's 88 and getting pretty frail.

    Like I say if I can be half the man.
    Hoping it got easier but I kinda don’t think it will.
    I miss him already.
    Glad we got to see each other and hug and say I love you a few days ago.

    So dad always gave me shit about my little truck!
    So I left some marks on the main road by their house.
    Pretty impressed myself seeing how my taco Is a 2.7.
    He’d had gave me hell but my single tire fire left some decent marks.

    Sorry for your loss Jeff. Lost my Dad 6 years ago. I still feel exactly as you describe. I hoped I would be retired before his time was up but it wasn't in the cards. I miss him every day. Hang in there and always remember all the memories you have of him.

    Dear TW
    I have to say that your words of comfort do help and is
    appreciated.
    I am sorry for others having lost a loved one.
    It was easier to say when I wasn’t one who had. Grandparents were tough but this just sucks! I couldn’t imagine a child or spouse.
    This is plenty hard enough!
    Thank you for your support.

    Lol also good night and thanks again. Been a rough day!

    So today I spent some time in the old mans garage. I tinkered with my taco in his ford parking spot.
    I took his truck for a ride not really thinking.
    My dad and I were close and people were waving and I broke down. He had so many people who knew and liked him. We look alike and have the same build.
    My moms a wreck and I’m there for her but it’s hard on all of us.
    I can’t say enough about the folks at Spafford and sons wells who are their neighbors. The owener was the first on scene after mom found him in the garage. He and a employee Ed started cpr. My mom wouldn’t leave the garage and watched it all. They were just ending the resitation when I got there. He had his whole staff on what was going on and I truly appreciate all they have done.

    Hey Jeff hang in there bud.
    Sounds like dad was a popular fellow in town. Just remember how special he was to you and all who knew him.
    Be strong for moms now and the upcoming holidays.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I’m 8 years old sitting in the passenger seat of Dads new 69 Buick Wildcat (silver with oxblood vinyl interior) and we’re cruising along Dad says “Steve, look at this” bewildered I looked at him and he repeats and points at the dash. I look at the speedometer and it’s pointing at the number 100. THAT was the moment I knew I had the best Dad
