[AT] OT: I lost my best friend today

[Gene Waugh]

LeRoy, you do us a dis-service by calling your notice OT.  Losing a Parent,
a best friend, is a big one for any of us to deal with, and we share your
pain and can probably relate to the power of the many poignant memories you
are experiencing..

We, a whole lot of friends, stand beside you, and are thinking / praying
along with you.

Didn't think today would mean much when I got up this morning but it turned 
out that
it has.  Today I lost one of my best friends and I wish I had him back.  
That friend was my
father.  After 29 years of caring for him as a quadriplegic, he finally 
bridged the final gap in
his life.  As I sit here and type this small tribute, I can only think of 
things I wish I had said
and did for him.  I fell short with some things and I'm sure he appreciated 
those things
that I was able to do.

Tonight, I wish I still had him here to guide me through a few more years.  
I always felt cheated
in that we couldn't do the things normal father and son do especially 
restoring and showing
tractors.

I hope I'll see him again some day to tell him what this day meant to me and

what
he meant to me.  Hopefully, I did make some difference in his life..

Sorry for the spam,

LeRoy
