*sigh* I'm loosing my touch. (Warning: Hi-jacked by Em)

Spook, your father sounds like quite a character. I guess we know where you got it from, huh?


God bless you.

A good mood...? Been a while since I've seen one of those.

But even this part of life brings a little humor. (By now everyone
knows my father is pretty sick?)

He called me the other day. Told me he was dead... Now that
was a little hard for me to answer.

Today, I had the undertaker come to the house. Dad wanted to
pick out his coffin, talk a little price...anyway, the undertaker and
his son made a house call.

First thing dad said to them was, "Come back Friday after lunch
and pick me up. I'll be ready then." They didn't know what to say.

Even had the preacher stop by that Dad wants to do his service.
Dad to the end...telling the preacher what to say. (The preacher,
he knows my dad all too well.) He would say something and dad
would go off..."No, don't be telling things like that about me."

So it's been a journey.

But looking at dad, it's about over now.

Apparently Friday....after lunch, I guess.

Spook...tired to the bone

Your father sounds wonderful. And very punctual. "Friday after lunch..." Wow.

 

[bluesub]

Oh Spook,

I'm glad that your dad is able to take some control of this part of his life - so many don't get the chance. Glad that your dad is deciding to spend Thanksgiving with you!

I'll be driving through Ohio on Thanksgiving (on the way to Grand Rapids...), I'll wave in your direction!

 

[Tanichca]

Oh, Spook, this must be so hard for you and your family. i'll keep you in my prayers!

 

[EmtheFishLady]

Glad to see you stop in Spook. Hang in there. As always, you've got my number. Call anytime. *hugs*

George, behave.

 

[eenie114]

George, behave.

You're no fun at all. *sigh*

 

[Bunnylady]

You're no fun at all. *sigh*

Now Eenie, have you ever seen anyone on this thread behave, for more than maybe a post or two?

Oh, that's right. Nobody listens to Em anyways.

(Whatcha gonna do? I'm already in the dungeon and you're too attached to me to have me beheaded.)

 

[sourland]

George, behave.

Always and forever.

What's causing that? I could use some...

Please share... the good mood that is. The peasants desire this.

I just finished our budget for 2013 and completed our five year financial plan. It was enough to make anybody go

Spook, I'm praying for your and your family's strength for the completion of this journey. Your Dad is an amazing man, and you are a wonderful son. Everyone should have such a relationship.
