Hugs, Alison... and hugs to your Dad, too.


My dad had some of those same kinds of thoughts when Mom was really sick, and then again once she passed away. He knows that he isn't getting any younger (though most of the time, he FEELS FINE and claims he could pass for 55 (when he retired; says he feels the same now as he did then- he's 74 now)... but then there are days when he sees that he gets tired quicker from the usual tree-trimming that he still does

Dad has a pretty full life and really makes a point to spend time with friends/ family- so that's not part of the what if's there... I think he's a little down cause his ex gf, who he's remained close with on a friend level, hasn't made much time for him lately- and dad DOES make a point of "doing the rounds" so to speak and see everyone and keep in contact.

Sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your dad, Alison. You're very lucky.


Sorry to hear about his friend, and how this has effected him.
