Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3206757, member: 534"] Sorry for your loss. My dad passed in his fifties, and we too, became very close in his last years. At the time, I worked on the road, and whenever possible (several times a week) I would arrange my travels for the day in such a way that allowed me to spend lunch with him. Usually played a couple hands of cribbage instead of eating anything. Then on weekends, we would build furniture together in his cellar workshop. I know it was an ordeal getting down there for him (He'd lost a leg to diabetes a few years earlier, and lived on the 2nd floor), but he really looked forward to those work sessions. I still have most of the tables and cabinets we made. We were in the workshop when he suffered a cerebral Hemorrhage. That was almost 50 years ago now, and I still think about him most every day. Mostly, I'm still glad we got to spend so much time together in those last few years/ [/QUOTE]
