me and my dad - repost from two years ago

My dad passed away in late May 2011. Fortunately I had traveled to see him and was able to say goodbye. We had become very close in the last few years.

He was a veteran of World War II, having served in the Navy in the Pacific and Atlantic.

I will miss him, I love him dearly.

    What a sweet shot of you and your dad. Does this mean that your disc has mended?

  9. Mr Mr. (37 months ago | reply)

    thanks Scarleth, and yes, i think i do :)

    No, my disc is not good, it is totally ruptured, but I am dealing with it. I really can still do just about anything but lift. That really hurts when I do lift more than about 10 pounds.
