A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

I got a call at 5:15 AM that my Dad had passed away in his sleep a few moments before.
I called my siblings, then got dressed, drove to town, and had to tell my Mom that her husband of nearly 67 years was no longer with us.
Since then we've notified family and ministers, made funeral plans, and picked out a casket.
It still hasn't fully sunk in.  I saw him yesterday afternoon.  He was weak and frail, but awake and alert.  I asked him how he was feeling, and he said: "I feel a lot better!"  Now he's gone on.

He was born in 1926.  He served his country in World War II and in Korea, and he served as a pastor for over 50 years.  He taught me just about every valuable life lesson a father could teach a son - including, these last few years, how to face illness, infirmity, and dementia with good humor and dignity.
He was my hero.  I know where he is now, and I know I will see him again.
But right now, my heart is still hurting. Bluesad

Love your folks while you have them, my friends.  They won't be around forever.

I am sorry for your loss, Indy. Losing a parent is never easy; words can't really capture that feeling, which is probably for the best.

Sorry to hear that, Indy.  Bluesad Of course I didn't know him, but the man raised a fine son, which speaks volumes about his character.

You have my sincere condolences indy. I am sorry for your loss. From what youve mentioned, your father lived an honerable life. Real fathers are few and far between in this world. I hope you and your family find some comfort in knowing that he was a good family man.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
