A lot happened in the next couple of years after that, that caused major changes in my life and his. I won’t dig into it too much other than to say that he got very sick, had a stroke, brain surgery, and lived his next 40 years partially disabled and never the same person he had been.
Life throws curves at you at times. You react, even if it takes 20 years to do so. And despite the curve it threw to me, it was a much greater curve that he endured.
