This is some epitaph:

The only concern Daddy had, though, was that his boy knew his father would shoot straight with him.

A few more of those stories and you’d have an amazing book, Dr. S.

That particular hurt never goes away. You have to just think they are in the next room and can't talk to you anymore. Lost my father to Emphysema 7 years ago, and it feels like yesterday some days. Lost my father in law about two months ago, and that one hurt almost as much. Hugs dude. My condolences on your loss sir… That particular hurt never goes away.
