Going back to the US Thursday

Post by Marco »

..to bury my Dad. He lived a great life of 84 years. Lost him in the spring, which was a blessing since he was deep in the alzheimer's.

Call your folks, it really sucks when they are gone. :x

peace

Sorry to hear about your Dad, my thoughts go out to you. I'm lucky still have my Mom and Dad....in their 80's. Try to converse with them at least once a week.

Sorry about your loss, Marco. Alzheimer's is tough to deal with. Thanks for reminder about calling your parents, also.

Thanks everyone. He died in April but was cremated so my Mom waited until everyone could be there. He will be interred in the military cemetery at Arlington due to his service in WWII. I definitely got my love of Europe from him.
