....Pru my friend, let me say that the pain will hit you from odd angles....but there is joy there as well.....we have begun the task of going through his and Mom's things-which certainly keeps the loss sharp and ever present, yet I have found much to smile about as well......again, from the heart of my gigantic bottom-errr summpin' like that....I thank you all for the kindnesses.....all of us appreciate it more than you'll ever know.......

Scott, I'm so sorry to hear about your father. My heart goes out to you and your family. Prayers for you all, friend.
...many thanks Doc....I’m plodding along, trying to get everything figured out now that I’m handling the estate....this is big boy stuff and the kid in me ain’t havin’ any fun....Tracy has been my rock, if not for her and all of you, I would have had a despondent break....time and again I say, this place is magic for so many many reasons....

We are here for you, buddy. I can relate to it hitting you from odd angles. It’s coming up on 7 years since SwiftDad’s passing and I still get gobsmacked by it every once in awhile.

....thank you both....we are working through it and I’m trying not to be overwhelmed by the financial and domestic clean up....as I posted earlier, grief comes at you sideways...I had some tears tonight, just seeing a coat that he always wore...still, we persevere and bless Tracy and her Mom...they are doing a ton of the sorting through, just to try and spare me some pain....love you ladies!....
