(I originally found you via linkage from Magazine Man and Sully, both of whom I count as great friends.) But life had other plans, and it took me a while to get here. And then, as I read backwards, I realized why you had not been posting. I realize that it has been 5 months, but I wanted to express my most sincere condolences. I lost my own father 18 years ago. It may be very difficult to believe now, but it will get better. We will hold you in our prayers. Thim Jason:

I am so sorry for your loss, but also overawed with admiration for your tribute. I wish I could have been half as articulate when I spoke at my parents' funeral. I have some sense of the pain and desolation you're feeling, but please know it is a path you do not walk alone. Sent you an email (which I hope you get soon). If there's anything I can do, please let me know. Til then, know that my family and I will be thinking of and praying for your family, and wishing you peace and comfort.

Time helps, memories help. My dad's birthday would have be June 4. Very cool - I think it is fair to say he was very proud of you (almost as proud as you were of your cursed pox curse).

My condolences to you and your family. Your words were very touching. My father passed away three years ago. In some ways, I haven't begun the mourning period because i still feel him "here." I hope you will keep your father close, too. This is the first time I am reading about this. My condolences to you and your family. Your words were very touching.

And the "pox" bit got a good laugh from me, just sitting here at my computer, so it must have brought the house down when delivered. Good job. Today is the 14th anniversary of my own Dad's death. As I said in another comment, it gets better over time. God bless. That was superb.
