A sincere thanks to all who expressed wishes. my dad has battled prostate cancer for the last 12 years, the last few being worse due to the cancer metastasizing to the organs and bone. I knew what the future held which is why We moved to Florida 3 years ago...best move I ever made.
I was not only able to be here to take care of my father and mother, but they have been able to spend a great deal of time with their one and only granddaughter, the joy of their lives
my father was a New York State Supreme court reporter for over 30 years, put himself through school while working for the post office full time raising the 3 of us...married 50 years to my mom.
my father was very proud of my accomplishments, and supported my efforts from day one...going with me to my very first competition at 13 years old. he didn't always understand why I wanted to do what I wanted to do...and was most curious as to how I as going to make money from it...lol...but was there anyway.
it's a surreal experience, as I still expect him to be sitting in his recliner at home or to be hitting the golf course with him this week as usual....Hopefully, he can fix that slice up there
spend some time with your folks and take nothing for granted...pick up the phone...enjoy the holidays together...and most importantly, tell them you love them while they're here.
