[AT] OT: I lost my best friend today

Times like this are tough, and for quite a while you will think of talking
to your Dad, or have thoughts of going to his room to check on him.  Your
faith will sustain you. I am sure your loving care meant the world to him.

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
