(((((((((((SILVER)))))))) Hon I want to reply to this so much right now. But I got so much going on this week,I can barely keep my head on straight right now lol. I hope you can forgive me if I delay this till next week. Jo and Greg are coming tomorrow and my house still needs so much attention yet! HELP! LOL. I recognize so much of what you are saying about your father. He sounds so much like mine did. AND yes I did say Did! HE has mellowed out and become so understanding and even likeable in his older age now, He is going to be 85 This coming Monday. So dont give up on your dad yet ok? Hang in there . Will talk to you soon sometime ok?
