Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers.
As many of you know, my dad has been suffering from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. It's basically a lung disease where your lung tissue just hardens with scar tissue. Idiopathic means they don't know what causes it. There is no cure other than a lung transplant.
He was diagnosed a little over two years ago, just a few months before my mom died of Alzheimers disease. He progressively got worse where he literally could not convert air to oxygenate his body.
He's been ready to go for some time. He passed early this morning a little after 3:00AM.
My dad and I were literally best friends. He was in business with me until retirement when he quit to care for my mom. No way I could have gotten this business off the ground without him. It's a huge loss for me but I take comfort in that He's no longer suffering.
Again, thanks to all my friends here who prayed or just had us in your thoughts. Please continue to pray for peace for our family. He was really a great man that everyone that knew him loved him. I seriously don't know of anyone that didn't like him.
Thanks to
@LA Vol and
@Orange Studs who were always asking about him. This is a community of some really great folks here. Thanks,
@Freak for giving us this platform.
Finally, if your fortunate enough to still have your parents around, please give them a hug. They won't always be there.
