[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 375664, member: 2580"] I never know what to say, so I'll quote a man named Cotton Cordell (I'll bet your Dad knew of him): "Teach your children to love the Lord, teach them to love their family, teach them to love their country, and then when the time comes, no drug dealer can teach them anything". I thought that the sun rose and set on my Dad, until he started drinking, and it got rocky after that, but I am still astonished at how much of him I find in myself and my 2 brothers, mostly the good stuff, not much of the bad. All 3 of us are veterans, like him, our families all think that we can fix anything, or make anything, just like him. We all love to hunt, shoot, and fish, like him, and he even taught us hard lessons about alcoholics. We saw enough to know we would never be alcoholics. He was 78 when he passed, had been sober for 5 yrs, and had embraced Christ as his saviour. He reconciled with some of his family, and one of my granddaughters loved him instinctively the first time she ever saw him. All in all, he could have done worse and so could we. As time passes, some of the sting will pass also, Tom [/QUOTE]
