Yes, I understand the grieving part too, although I don't think you ever truly finish with it.<br /><br />Terri - Thanks, I try my best. And thanks for the confidence in my exam ability - I will let you know if it is well placed...<br /><br />TechnoBabe - My dad lives just around the corner. The last year has been really tough for all of us, especially him, and he reached a real low point. He is on his way back up again now, though. Food is half of the battle with guys, as I always say!<br /><br />Agg79 - Thanks - I think it goes to the basic "treat others as you would be treated yourself" ethos. Purge? I hear that Stalin was keen on those :-) But I think you are right!Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-8268695176244244072011-05-05T18:26:38.408-07:002011-05-05T18:26:38.408-07:00It is fantastic that you are taking care of your d...It is fantastic that you are taking care of your dad. I think speaks volumes on how we treat our parents when they get older. I applaud you in taking care of your dad. <br /><br />And voting is one of those necessary evils. We all have to do it to keep the system running but sometimes I wonder about the results. Lately, I am more of a mind to vote out everyone who has been there more than 1-2 terms. Sometimes, it is good to purge the body.agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-61320683595291445752011-05-05T16:26:52.876-07:002011-05-05T16:26:52.876-07:00What has brought about the change in your dad?

It sounds like you are sighing a huge sigh of relief.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-49789964298793006992011-05-05T15:42:29.482-07:002011-05-05T15:42:29.482-07:00The note about your dad is what spoke to me most t...The note about your dad is what spoke to me most too. It is so good that he has you and your family to help him out. I'm happy for you that he has become stronger and healthier because of your help. You are a good son.<br /><br />I have a feeling you'll do well on your exams in spite of the fact that it's hard to find time to really study.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438919470851543844.post-82034944800987377982011-05-05T12:34:49.363-07:002011-05-05T12:34:49.363-07:00My daughter died... in 2009, at 37.

She had brain cancer. Long story. It's like I had already grieved for her, you know? Good job with your dad, I bet he really appreciates it.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295794524135726030noreply@blogger.com
