Catching Up On Life

My father passed away last month.  He was able to come home for Thanksgiving, and he got to see all 6 of his siblings and their families, but the Saturday after Thanksgiving he lost his 4-year battle with liver and colon cancer.

When I remember my Dad, I think of some of the happiest moments of my childhood.  Getting checked out of first grade at noon to go catch a Braves day baseball game.  Watching R-rated movies in the theater before I was 10 years old.  My first conscious memory that I can clearly recall was when I was 3 and I went fishing with my Dad on Lake Lanier.

To help support him and my Mom were the reasons I moved to North Carolina 4 years ago... and this event has been looming over everything since.

My sister and mother are doing about as okay as can be expected.  We got my mom a brand new puppy, so at least she now has a mammal to fret over.\

Work has been going really well, I'll blog about that next.
