Smoke I just lost a good friend last month to cancer. He was actually my ex father-in-law from my first marriage and we still stayed close even after his daughter and I divorced. He and his wife even participated in my wedding with my current wife. I met him when I was 20 years old and I am now 39.

It was really tough watching him die. The cancer took him in 8 months from diagnosis to death. He was missing a gene that most people have that will battle the cancer he had so his body just let the cancer take over.

It has been real tough because honestly this guy was 10 times a father to me than my real father.

Sounds like you and your pops were real close and he sounds like he was a great man.

And your not being a downer. I understand how you feel. It has been a month and I have been in a better mood but I still think about him everyday. Things will get better over time. And you have the support of your new wife and beautiful scenery at your new home to help you through it...

I have been offered counseling two times through hospice and I have turned them down.

All I need is Beer, Kingsford and all of you 

Wendy and I thank you from the bottoms of our hearts

That's the way to do it.  You'll never see a BBQ pit and a keg at a therapist office, because all their clients would be cured and their business would dry up.

That is a beautiful picture of two very happy and pretty people.   We all know your pain, but hang in there.  Sometimes it is hardest during the Holidays, but the memories are great and helpful.
