jannusguy2 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 My dad has been gone 20 yrs. now. Still have mom and she's a hale and hardy 82. Christmas is her favorite holiday and I make sure each one is special for her. Best to you.
Murph Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 she's a hale and hardy 82. I love hale and hardy old ladies. They are very comfortable in their skin. Thanks.
Riffster Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 I am 1500 miles away from my parents but I will make sure I talk to them for a while.
ShredAstaire Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 I'll be at my folks with my 5 month old girl tomorrow. There will be PLENTY of hugs. That is part of being family for us! :)
buliwyf Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Both of my parents are still around and in their mid 80's as are my inlaws.I cant imagine losing them but I accept it will come some day. For the last 20 years we are in Georgia and my parents are in Massachusetts and we havent gone up every year.This year we will be calling them at my sisters house where the family will all be using SKYPE on the computer so we can see them as well as talk to everybody.Almost as good and much better than just a phonecall. Merry Christmas to all
daveinspain Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Lost my dad back in 1974 but still have my mom... I wont see here for Christmas but I'll be there for New Years and her Bday on the 4th of January, she'll be 88.... Did your dad's bike... Is that your stingray in the background? I had one exactly like it when I was a kid...
Cougar Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 If you still have them. I miss my Dad all the time, but esp this time of year. I give my 90-year-old dad a call once a week. He was still playing golf a couple months ago, but had to cut back. He'd been playing an old hard-action Yamaha acoustic for years and years, so I had the bright idea of getting him a Gibson Les Paul. I didn't know there were so many kinds! Took me a month to settle on a 2012 faded Studio model. To say he was overjoyed would be an understatement. Of course, if and when he finally kicks, it won't be all bad news - I get an LP Studio!
milod Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Murph... Good thread. My Dad and two great Moms are gone. Heck, nowadays my two older siblings and I are considered "the old ones." My younger bro isn't 40 yet... so we made certain that my little bro and I called him in Seattle from here on Christmas. Now I've gotta get to my sis - known as "Grandma" to a whole tribe in Texas - to say howdy and happy new year. If there's family, if possible it's nice to keep in some contact. I ain't always been the best at that. m
heymisterk Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Though you wouldn't know it, I think cancer - after 22 years(!) - is finally beating my mom. I hug her and tell her I love as much as I can. If you are a kid reading this thread: Don't be a *** kid like I was; appreciate all the love and support they give you.
milod Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Mr. K... One thing a bunch of us can agree on: Too soon oldt, too late schmardt. m
heymisterk Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Mr. K... One thing a bunch of us can agree on: Too soon oldt, too late schmardt. m Amen. I am going to remember that saying. "A wise man in South Dakota once said..."
milod Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I wish I could claim it's original... I saw it on a calendar in a Czech ethnic farm town cafe probably 40+ years ago... but it certainly is true. m
j45nick Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Lost both my folks back in '90 and '91, and my big sister the same year. Love them while you can, because there's no guarantees for tomorrow. We are all on borrowed time. Make the most of it.
