Nolan on another note, Thank You for what your wrote in the Fathers Day thread. It was really touching. I appreciate that alot.
I meant every word of it sir.
Our Tractor Supply Co. is next to a Sonic, with a super Wally World across the street next to a Baskin Robins, Tenbucks (starbucks), and a Subway! LOL Its like heaven but tastier.
Cris, Lisa, John, and Jim thanks for your thoughts and prayers, we aren't really to optimistic for a full recovery, but like I said he's a tough cookie, and a real fighter...so were just in waiting mode. He did have this slight rebound which surprised us all, he was actually singing (not all that well, but then he couldn't sing before anyway..lol) and having coversations. We did get some pictures with him, the girls, my wife and mom in law so it has been good visits.
Thanks guys!
I know I talk about him a lot, but, he's on my mind a lot.

Lisa, when you're fortunate enough to have a father with whom you are very close, I'm sure that his presence is always with you throughout the years after he's gone. Personally, even though things were restored with my own father before he died last fall, we just did not have that lifetime of closeness you seem to have had with yours, and it is the combination of my own experience and observing others like yourself which inspires me the most work at maintaining that kind of relationship with each of my own children...
None of us want to be forgotten, and your tribute to your dad shows not only your own love and honor for him, but also says a lot about the depth of his own character.

Steve, right before I opened this thread this morning, I noticed that you were the last one posting (at that time, anyway), and something pierced my heart, and I did not understand why until I read your post regarding your father-in-law, and then traced your comments back to your post about your own father's passing in '93. I just have a sense that it weighs heavy on you and your family right now. Personally, I believe that once you've gone through the loss of a parent (or anyone else who has been close to you, related or not), you simply cannot approach a serious illness of anyone else without a lifetime of memories and emotions hanging around in the back of your mind... be it regrets or gratefulness, losses or victories, good times or bad... the memories never die.
I'll be praying for all of you as often as the Lord brings you to mind.
I can also feel some of you all's pain, I lost my Daddy-in-law a couple of year's back, and He was like a Daddy to me. My Daddy has alzheimer's and does not remember me at times, we will be talking and he will ask my Mother "When is he going to leave". It make's it harder to see someone you have known and loved for 54 year's, who does'nt remember you. My prayer for each one of you is to try to remember your loved one as they were in life, and not at death!! My Daddy may not remember Me, But I do remember Him and the good time's we have had!!
