============================================================

This is a horrible disease and the last few years were awful for my dad. I hated to see him go from a energetic, full of life father to a crippled worn out man in a wheel chair. It was so sad. I hated to see him like that. I hated to see him suffer. The end could not come soon enough. I am glad his suffering is over and I hope he is at a better place where he is walking, golfing and fixing whatever is broken.
Dad, I miss you ...
love, Craig
