This year my dad passed away last Sunday but when a spot opened up on Monday I got back in and really had all intentions of going however misguided as it was at the moment. Well some things came up with work Tuesday and Wednesday and I got those taken care of rushed home late Wednesday took a shower and was ready to hit the road anyway. By the time I got all cleaned up I think I realized I was physically and emotionally drained so I threw in the towel so to speak. Congrats to all the winners and especially my ole buddy Bob Bender for giving me something to cheer about this week!
Looking at all you said here, I'd say you made the right choice. Losing a parent is overwhelming and very intense to say the least. I lost my Mom in 1996 and my Dad in 1997 and still miss them ALOT. Take your time and remember all the good things. Good luck to you and hope things go well for you. Godspeed to your Dad.

Thank you all for the kind words of condolences and other messages I've received. I must also apologize I didn't mean to hijack the thread but thanks again.

I counseled my brothers and sister by saying to them -

"don't end up wishing you had called him yesterday"

Cool Re: "Live From" Maple Grove, NHRA Nationals

I made that mistake almost 13 years ago. I didn't call my mother on Sunday evening like I usually did, then the next morning about 7 AM at work, I got a call that her medic alert bracelet had been activated. Trying to return the call to her house,all I got were either busy signals or ringing with no answers.I took a drive over to the house and my brother's brother in law got there at the same time. We went in, and I found her lyng crossways on her bed. She had been gone only about an hour. I never had that final call with her. You just never know. Things like that happen, you try to get back to normal, but nothing will really ever be just the same.
