You gotta respect that position...A hell of a man.
Thanks Jock. My whole life I watched him pick shrapnel out of his leg when it surfaced. Finally lost that leg from the knee down 10 years ago. As he got older and his circulation got worse, they couldn't keep the blood flowing to his foot. He had a couple of vein bypasses along the way, but it always bothered him. I don't know why it bothers me, but I think about him passing on and not knowing these things about him seems - - - - - I don't know, it just seems to bother me. My dad's been a lot of things to me from Satan himself to Lancelot and everything in between. We've had a rocky relationship at times and been close at times. As the end of his life nears, I've come to accept him as he's come to accept me. Strange that, because it's given me peace and allowed me to stop fearing death and truly live. I fear not for him nor myself any longer.
