True story. I was with my dad at his Chock Full of Nuts restauarant(Its like a Dunkin Donuts) 39 years ago at the age of 8. My brother and I were doing our usual harass the customers(just fooling around with regulars on the weekend) and my dad walked out of the backroom making a noise and then thud--a 6-5 285 pound just turned 31 year old man falls dead 5 feet front me just like that. I was watching Super-friends cartoon with him in the am just 1 hour before. We were supposed to go to T ball practice in 30 minutes. No goodbye no nothing--my dad dropped dead of a heart attack. I never smoked or did one drug my hole life. I dont eat friend foods no red meat no deserts or butter. I have his genes--Im also 6-3 245 but Im a lean 245. Were all gonna go--but I made sure that the same fate that hit him did not hit me--I had two children and I have been able to watch them grow and also finish a 25 year job with the state of CT. (Wasnt worth it to keep working for me with a retirement 1/2 pay) If I kick it now--I may still be young but I passed him out and my kids know the deal--I didnt want to leave this Earth without proper goodbye's--hey hope Im here another 30+ years--but if Im not thats ok too. Never lket stress get you keep positive cheers for Mr Dribbles keep tough.
