[QUOTE="Grandpa, post: 1008686, member: 14666"] I am about to turn 62 as well; lost my dad 7 years ago. He was of that generation that survived the depression and would spend 3 hours fixing something that would have cost $3 to fix. So many things he would do that made me go huh??, now I find myself doing the same thing the same way he did. When that happens, I stop and grin and know that he is looking down from heaven, laughing his head off. I wish every day I could talk to my dad and ask his advice. I would pay a lot more attention this time. My little brother died two days short of his 43rd birthday in a car wreck and left 7- and 11-year-old daughters. I was the one the sheriff contacted and had to tell my mother and then my brother's family. Never want to do that night ever again. When I got my kidney transplant in 1999, it came from a man 10 years younger than me who died and left 7- and 11-year-old children. As grateful as I was for the life-saving kidney, I cried and grieved for that family. It's hard to lose a daddy at any age; much more so when they haven't had a chance to live their lives and raise their kids. [/QUOTE]
