    My Dad

    Wow Eric....I was really moved by your situation. I wasn't here for the most of May June July. So I didn't read your post until yesterday. I was so affected emotionally on several levels. My mother Is a alcoholic who got sober with the help of AA back In 1992. If It were not for that help she would have been gone many years ago....Im sure of It. She's 80 now and still going strong. I think most of us here know a alcoholic In are family or a friend who Is affected. It does Indeed touch so many of are lives. So I can relate on that level alone The other thing I can relate to is having a father who Is...or "was" sick...as In my case. One day he was a healthy 74 year old man who never drank or smoked and took very good care of himself. The next day he could not get out of bed...he had contacted a severe staph Infection. I was very close to my father...he was my best friend...not only my dad. Long story short...after being In the hospital for about two months he went to sleep and never woke up. He had a brain aneurysm In the middle of the night. My father had always told me that he never would want to be kept alive by artificial means. What kind of life Is that...he would ask. I agreed that I would not want that for myself as well. So after three days with no Imporvement my mother and I had to make that dreadful decision. Although we knew what his wishes were...It was still so difficult to make such a decision. But we had to let him go...the most painful day of my life. It was just a awful time. I spent the next three months at the bottom of a a bottle. I did not want to feel that pain. So I drank it away. I finally realized that drinking would not bring my father back and only end up killing myself In the process. I have to give you a lot of credit Eric...It takes courage to be as honset as you have. More courage than I have my friend. Your father has a very good son Eric....he's lucky you didn't hold a grudge...so many would have. It's hard on a kid not to have a father around. But whoever raised you did a dam good job. So thank you Eric for keeping It real. Thank you for reminding us how fragile life can be.... are emotions as well. If you ever want to talk one on one....please feel free to PM me anytime. I will leave you my email just In case. I wish your father the best possible outcome considering the circumstances. I hope your father go's peacefully. The very best wishes from North carolina USA. Mike

  4. It may be uncomfortable due to the pleather...but It sure looks cool. Kind of reminds me of some of those bund straps. I have to admit...some of them look quite nice. I would have no problem wearing one of these....especially with that watch.
