[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1598224, member: 6897"] My dad was born in 1910 and died in 1997. A good man, never did anything exceptional but was always a good provider, a hard worker but a hard man. We were never abused but were worked hard from an early age. Dad just explained it off as something we simply had to learn to do. The only thing I ever knew of him leaving work early for was go watch both me and my older brother play football in HS and as far as I know he never missed a game. Had two bare spots worn out in the yard where he and I played pitch with a baseball. He supported my decisions all my life but I never heard him say "I love you" until I was 43 years old and when he did it about killed us both. lolol Started feeling sort of bad and it continued for about a week. Finally my mom told him she was taking him to the hospital the next morning if he wasn't better. He got up the next morning, shaved, bathed and they went to the hospital. All they did was admit him and put him on oxygen. Almost immediately he began to drift off into lala land, went to sleep and passed away the next morning. Just the way he would have drawn it up if asked how he wanted to go. [/QUOTE]
