Let me offer my shoulder/ear/whatever to all of you dealing with your impending loss... Grumble, MB, & anyone else, I know... nearly 10 years since I lost my own father (he was 83 also), followed soon after by my only brother, then my mother... just to let you know it will get better, tho you never get over it completely... again, the whole family is here to help any way we can.
