Re: Sad Anniversary
DevilDeac,
Thanks for posting this. A very touching story. My dad died after a long illness in 1994. I still long to talk to him about all things "growing up," "life" and such. You know you have great parents when you miss them in that way. Prayers and good vibes to you now and every year.
