Thanks guys.

Cried myself to sleep, a deep and painful cry. I just woke up, my eyes are so swollen and feel like two bowling balls. My throat feels like I was in a strangle hold.

So many things to do today and I don't have a clue of where to start.

Maybe a shower first.

Just go one step at a time man, focus on the little things to get started and let your routine take over. Take a shower, get dressed, choke down some chow, all the little things you normally do on autopilot. Just find something, ANYthing, to focus on. I wont kid you, it doesnt help. Much. But at least you wont show up in your undies.

Sorry I dont have anything more than words to offer you. I know how little they are to a hurt that big. All I can say is, just put in your mind the honor they are doing him to be buried in Arlington with his brothers. Focus on showing the world how proud you are. That has to be your job until its done. Prayers are with you my friend.

BTW, if you go through Tinker, and you meet a young guy named Lopez that has a Hawaiian accent, say hi for me.

Good advice Star. Thanks Bud.

mac

a Hawaiian named Lopez? That's a new one on me.
I like pizza with pineapple on it, makes me wonder how a taco with pineapple might be like.

Ya know Star we might be onto something here.

Man sorry to hear that MAC

AWMac · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:02:29 PM »

Thanks Gunthr. It's gonna be some hard emotional times these next few Weeks, Months, Years.

They say time heals all wounds... seems like my heart has been stabbed to Death in the last 3 1/2 Years. Just learn from the scars that remain I guess.

I just feel beat to Death. Maybe GOD has a special reason to put me through all of this. I just don't know, it's all HIS call.

Mac my deepest sympathies to you and yours.

I know the feeling...as most of us do.

Not easy....life isn't.

Remember...your Dad has no worries now. And I'm sure he is quite comfortable.

Remember also that this is just temporary.

You'll see one another again someday!

My dad died 6 years ago. To this day, when I'm stumped on trying to fix something, I want to call my dad. I miss him. Carry on bro... .
