Ah, so now the picture becomes clear...;-)
Just kidding. From what I've seen you weathered that storm.
Shameless plug: A Father's Place
Whoa... Thank you very much. I owe all of my success (and even survival) to my Pop.
He was a great and wonderful man. I miss him greatly. I've read some of the articles you have posted from 'A Father's Place'--good stuff. It is impossible to overestimate the value of a father in a family.
All I had was my father and he made all the difference. We both knew it. I made sure that he knew how much I appreciated what he did for me.
I'm living now in the house he built. Perhaps in more ways than one....
