And a great man has gone beyond

That would be my Dad, who passed away at about 9:30 this evening.  I don't really have a lot to say about it right now.  Kind of numb.  The thing is... He was just trapped inside that body... to the point where he couldn't even get out enough to acknowledge most of us... so now, he's out of it.  He's not trapped in there any more. He's not suffering.  I can sense him around me.  I have his song in my heart.

Thanks. I'm sorry I missed your message the other night. I was up, and had been online too... I think I had gotten up to get something to eat though, and the window got buried under something else. (i.e. *I* probably sat down and clicked something I was working on and didn't see that it was your message I was burying and not someone else I was talking to. Feel free to sign the guest book. You did not know my father, but you know me. It was he who instilled in me my sense of honor and integrity, among other things.
