I just watched my father pass away today, so for him it truly was liberation day. Parkinson's is a very nasty way to go, but he took it very well.

Condolences Mike.

 

[Mike Krailo]

Thank you @moke123, it is something we will all face eventually. But he had a particularly tough three years that I would not wish on anyone.

Mike, no matter how or when it happens, losing a parent forces you into at least a brief period of re-evaluation. I lost my Dad almost 43 years ago. Even though I was working and making quite decent money, pretty much doing adult things - and had been doing so for several years - there was always that hesitation, that moment of uncertainty... what do I do now?

It hit me like a ton of bricks in certain ways. For instance, I would never again be able to ask his advice. It was more complex in my case because only a few days earlier, we had discussed my mother's apparent slow descent into dementia, probably Alzheimer's (but I didn't request an autopsy to verify.) No matter what your age, no matter what you have been doing, your world changes. My friend, I wish you good luck in your adjustment to the new world that no longer has your father in it. Even when you know it is coming, it is a sobering experience when it actually happens.

Mike,
I lost my dad 43 years ago. I think Doc has captured my thoughts extremely well. Stay strong.

 

[Mike Krailo]

I feel incredibly lucky to have him for such a long time. He made it to 85.

 

[Mike Krailo]

I apalogize for hijacking the thread, it just has been a very different than what I thought it would be and it really set me off today.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Understand perfectly. Not going to gig you for something as important as family.

I'm sorry for you loss. I miss my dad, even after 13 years. In many ways he is still with me. It may be that way for you.

It's Trump's idiotic implementation of them that is the problem. He has a history of actions covered by lies that ultimately benefit the billionaires.

The video clip wasn't about Trump, it was about Bernie. He was advocating for tariffs over free trade, how do you square that circle?

Easy. No one says tariffs can't be effective when done right. Do you think Bernie would put tariffs on an island full of penguins?
