SFB and Yur:<br><br>sorry to hear of your losses and I can sympathize, lost my Dad just after Thanksgiving 2001, he wasn't feeling well, drove himself to the hospital, they detected blockage in his arteries, did bypass surgery and he suffered a massive stroke on the operating table and never recovered.<br><br>I check on Mom every couple of days and do all the maintenance around the house, when I need a tool, she still says <br><br>&quot;I think Dad has one of those in the garage&quot;.<br><br>Point being, remember the good times and don't let Dad's spirit die, he will always be with you.<br><br>Take care of yourself and be strong, the rest of the family will need you<br><br><br>big jake
