Dr.Tim, you got another tear in my eye remembering sitting in the Jeep with Pap after cutting firewood and his Little Debbie donuts and Irish coffee. I accidentally got the wrong cup on time when I was about 5 and that coffee was just as strong coming up as it was going down. Lot of shine, a little coffee.
It's good to sit back and remember our loved ones that have gone on. A bit sad, but good to know who you came from.
BAP, I know that we have never met, but I feel your pain. I think that we all do.
Matt,

Sorry for your loss. I have similar memories of my dad. Doing whatever it took to get the buckets in the woods with his Massey that was missing a front wheel. But his greatest passion was cutting firewood. That's a big loss for me.

Count your memories as treasures. My dad died when I was a young man. One thing I wish, is he never met my wife or knew his grandkids and I wish he had. He also was my biggest fan for pursuing my chosen career in Natural Resources and he never got to see me complete that dream. So store away those sweet memories and be glad you had time together.
