I don't seem to take the time to come around the forum much anymore, just too much other stuff going on. But whenever I see a thread like this it makes me realize what really means the most to us. Cars, trucks, engines, projects all come and go and give us temporary pleasure and distractions from lifes mundane tasks, but our real heros are always people. Often fathers.

Hold him close. Tell him what he means to you and yours.

I miss my ole man tonight...slim

 

Im very sory to hear about your Dad, stroke is hard for all concerned. Best wishes for you and yours.

 

Just came across this thread, many prayers and positive thoughts go out to you, your dad, and your entire family. I hope his recovery goes as well as possible, keep up the faith.

 

Keep up the good fight, Wade, and we'll be praying.

 

I`m hopping for a speedy recovery for your dad Wade.

 

Sorry to hear the sad news. Your Dad, you and your family will be in our prayers. Hope for a speedy recovery.

My uncle had a stroke a few years ago. At first things were difficult, especially talking. He knew what he wanted to say but couldn't get the words out. He still talks slower and sometimes has trouble getting a word out, but otherwise has made a full recovery. His big milestone was to get his driver's license back. He just made a trip from Southern California to Utah, up to Washington, and back through Oregon. Hopefully you can take some encouragement from that, and with the others I hope for the best for you and your family.

 

Hang in there Wade. My thoughts and prayers go out to your dad.

I agree wholeheartdly with Slim, make sure your Dad gets all the care and attention you can give him.
My Dad passed almost 30 years ago now (at 67) and i still miss him alot. All the other stuff can be replaced, heros cant.
All my best wishes to you and your Dad. John

 

Sorry to hear that. Went through the same thing with my Dad years ago. Hang in there...

 

Very sad news, now it will be your turn to help him. Good wishes for his recovery, I hope he regains as much as possible.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Hopefully, time will bring about a recovery for him. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers ...we will take it one day at a time. My brother is in town so we will talk shop with dad until they kick us out! Thanks again for the support, it has helped alot....
