I'll make this very brief.

For those who know about my Dad's struggle with cancer and all the weekends I spent traveling to help him and Mom, he passed away two weeks ago today. A few of you already know about it, but there are others who have not heard.

Why did I wait so long?... I didn't want unnecessary attention drawn to myself over this, and was very quickly very busy helping Mom get things in order and then getting settled back in at home again with the wife and kids. I'm doing well, and everything is moving forward.

I was able to speak at Dad's memorial service, which went very well. He is so much better off now. Over the two months of spending every weekend with them, there was adequate time for much healing of past hurts and misunderstandings, and we were all very peaceful at his passing. I had the full support of my children and wife throughout my repetitive absences, but it was hard on them all the same.

Dad's downturn was very fast on my last weekend with him, and he did not suffer much at all, for which I am very grateful. My Mom is a very strong woman and is doing very well, but as can be expected, she'll be battling the loneliness for years to come. She is very active, but the nights are the hard time for her.

For those of you who have cared, prayed, and wished many condolences up to now, and even now, I m very grateful. I count it a very great privelege indeed to be a part of this family of friends in FTE. You folks are really golden, and I thank you all.

 

Sorry for your loss Pete.
