My Dad died 39 days ago. October 27th. 5 weeks, 4 days shy of his 84th birthday.
I thought of this last night during my normal 2 hour toss and turn session between 3-5am. You know, it's not bad when you think of it in the abstract. I mean nearly 84 fairly healthy years and then a quick passing is pretty good when you think of it applied to someone else, someone you don't know, someone who's not your father.
It would have been Lou's 84th birthday today and I thought for the first time since this all began I'd show you a picture of him.
Nearly 84 years is pretty good when you think of it, except when it comes to someone who was your Dad, someone you miss very badly every day.
Happy Birthday Lou!

howard, your dad looks like a great guy. i know exactly how you feel. i've lost both my parents; my mom and best friend a couple of years ago. i still miss her everyday but am consolled (sp?) by great memories of what a wonderful woman she was. you will have that with your dad. my thoughts are with you and Lou today!
