You lost your dad in 2001 too?
Daddy was in the hospital for his 85th birthday, he had pneumonia and died 8 days later.
I was blessed to have him that long.
Mine was 86.
I was grateful to have him so long, and in his right mind.
Mom died in 2011, almost 94, but had dementia in her remaining years. Stuck in a loop in 1941. Sad.
