Well...the inevitable has arrived. My father passed away last night at around 11:15 PM central time. I was up at our cabin with my family. It was weird...I fell asleep watching Jay Leno. Scott turned the TV off. I woke up very abruptly at 11 and lay in bed unable to fall back to sleep. I now know why. At 11:18 PM my cell phone vibrated and I saw my sister Peggy on caller id. I knew...I answered the phone by saying, "Dad's gone, isn't he?" And, Peg said, "Dad's gone." I was okay on the phone and after we disconnected I laid in bed sobbing. Fortunately, Scott was there to comfort me and reassure me that Dad was in a better place. I know that. And I also know in a "blink of an eye" I will reunite with him.

Dad...I miss you already. You taught me much and loved me more. Enjoy heaven and the mansion God prepared for you.
