As some of you may know my father died last night very suddenly...he dropped dead while doing yard work on the church property where he lives. We will never know exactly why....the decision to do an autopsy was mine and i declined...I do not want them to cut my father up. The doctor thinks it was a heart attack or stroke.

I have to do something today i never wanted to do...I have to go with my brother to make the funeral arrangements and then go to the police dept to pick up the key to his place and go through it. I dont know if i can do it...

My father was an amazing man and a phenomenal father...one not content to let his children waste their days watching television or being bored. My younger years were filled with long walks in the woods and trips to the zoo with him.

He was a father not only to me but also to my brothers and sister, who were not biologically related to him, but were raised by him. They considered him their father and best friend.

I am glad now that i was so sick recently...he drove 2 hours every day to visit me in the hospital...

I love you and miss you Dad...
