Dad

I know it’s been a long time. It has been a very long year at this point. New Years was great. I played at Beth and Joes party. Joe set off 16,000 that’s right 16,000 firecrackers all at one time. All that was needed after that was a laser light show. I left the next day for Belfast Ireland. It was my Christmas present to Martha for her birthday. We stayed with two great friends and I must say it was the best vacation ever. We both loved Ireland and will go back soon. We figured out while we were there that we have been together for 33 years. That’s a long time in this day and age. I could not have picked a better person to be with. Anyway……When we got home my dad had an accident and had to go to the hospital. He passed away a week later. I am still trying to deal with the loss. Martha thinks it has all been building up since my sister and mother passed away 2 years ago. It could be. The support of my friends and the ones that didn’t know my father has been a great comfort. I will never be able to thank them. A week after he passed away a young girl came up to me at Doc’s. She had been one of his nurses in the hospital. She didn’t know he had passed. She was there because he had told her how much he cared about me and she wanted to meet me. Its things like that I will always remember. Anyway…… I have had acute bronchitis twice in the pass month. Life goes on. Summer is looking good. Getting a lot of calls from young brides to be, and the season at Tybee is shaping up to be a big one. I will stop teaching guitar at the end of March. I have too much to do with my Fathers house and will need the time before the summer hits hard. I will try to keep this updated . NOT
