So every day for me is a Blessing. agreed, and I have done the same thing in already being older than my Dad. he was taken from us too young. had a massive stroke at 55, died of C at 57. as I approached & passed the anniv of his death when I was 57, it was difficult. I have been able to move on. either we do or we don't. hopefully we all are strong enough to pass most challenges given us. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 A roofing company that put a 2'x4' tarp on LF's roof ridge sent an invoice for $750. She was being too nice so I got on the phone. He said he sent 4 people out and that I must not understand business.

babadono Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 My Dad was a member of the Greatest Generation. A kid in the roaring 20s, coming of age in the Great Depression, going to war in WWII. I can only barely comprehend the stress he lived with. Then all the shenanigans my sister,brother and I piled on top of that. Lost him to heart failure way too young at 62. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
