My father passed away, suddenly, 6 years later before I arrived at the hospital. These times and regrets must be a normal part of life, although I rarely comment on them or share them... I enjoyed your post, have a hangup in my throat and am looking forward to your next humorous post!Tumblewords:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04279038951489894119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-7860209300631761962007-10-28T16:31:00.000-07:002007-10-28T16:31:00.000-07:00I can't wait until next weekend so I can stop maki...I can't wait until next weekend so I can stop making people cry.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-82635443656121576812007-10-28T16:28:00.000-07:002007-10-28T16:28:00.000-07:00You've made me laugh now you made me cry!

Your poignant story of your love for your parents moves me and your writing brings tears to my eyes and chills to my skin. I am so impressed that your serious writing is just as affective as your humorous posts. As much as I love to laugh, I also love honesty, emotion and depth.

God how my mom hated that music. Straight from the devil. Funny how benign that music really was compared to todays "Gangsta Rap" and "Thrash Metal." We thought we were heavy dudes and much of it was actually ballads.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-57185751898374142142007-10-28T10:00:00.000-07:002007-10-28T10:00:00.000-07:00Thanks for writing this post.

I always liked your mom and dad and I appreciate knowing more about the story of how they passed away and what it meant to you. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, too, for the pictures. I always enjoyed coming over to your house, especially to listen to music. Last night, the dj on XM radio's channel 40 played Steppenwolf's "Monster" and I was right there in your bedroom. I remember the turntable being on the floor, but I might be wrong, the room crammed with Yankee stuff, and great record albums: Cold Blood, Cream, the White Album, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, and many others. <BR/><BR/>It all comes back, maybe with inaccuracies, but my enjoyment was not and is not inaccurate.raymond perthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924633611890299829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-19004695908477188852007-10-27T21:34:00.000-07:002007-10-27T21:34:00.000-07:00I considered Rose Lake but didn't know how long it...I considered Rose Lake but didn't know how long it would be before I got back up there or how much of them would be left.
