Kim, I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. My father passed away 17 years ago and I still think about him everyday. My only consolation was that he had suffered for so many years that it was a relief for him to be gone. I'm sure he'll meet your father up in heaven and I hope that you can recover from your loss. You have had so much going on in your life lately, I don't know if I would be strong enough to deal with it. Hang in there and you are in my prayers. Laura
