Keep the bullets and your money. That is that LAST thing I want on your mind. God Bless you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Really do NOT bother with the cash.
If I had known I'd never even posted this. I apologize deeply for troubling you with such a trivial matter.
Take care of your self and when you come back to us here let us know how they worked out. My father doersn't have much longer, cancer as well, so your loss strikes a painful nerve.
God Bless you brother, take care.
Handirifle its okay really.
What I want to say is this, and I hope anyone who is at a distance or estranged from a parent.... MAKE THINGS RIGHT between ya. I got the call from my dad's wife on the morning of the 28th about my dads condition. My dad and I had a falling out more than 10 yrs ago... it seemed he did everything to make me hate him.
We did not speak this whole time... and this is the PAIN that I now feel, due to my stupidity and knotheadedness I became estranged from my dad.
Well, I finally got a hold of his wife the evening of the 28th and she was telling me all about what he was going through. It was to a point of putting morphine drops in his mouth because he could no longer swallow. Well on this night he was too far out of it, from being morphined up.
The next morning she called as my dad was more alert, but couldn't talk, but I could. The first thing I said to him was, DAD I love you.... and I know years ago you told me never to call you DAD, because you didn't raise me, but you can't argue with me now. So DAD I am saying I love you, and want your forgiveness for our past and how I was with you.
I also because of my faith in Jesus Christ gave my dad a message of salvation, I owed him that much. Some would ask WT$ but we who are Christians owe it to someone who is on their death bed that one last opportunity to recieve Jesus into their heart and ask forgiveness of their sins.
When his wife came back on the phone she said he was responsive to what ever I had said. We decided he should rest now.........
I did not know that it would be the very last time I could talk to my dad on this earth. My dad passed away at exactly 2 am the next morning. I did not find this out until the next evening. But his wife told me that several days before their pastor had been there when dad was more alert and could speak some, and after his visit with dad told her that he was assured where my dad was going, no doubt and becuase of the promises we believe, promises given to us in the Bible I will see him again someday.
That was the greatest feeling in the world to me, to know for sure.
Guys I know this is not a religion forum, but I just had to get this off my chest. I've been quiet here and dove into my BPCR stuff, when I get into that it keeps me busy.
Yes there are times I cry a bit.. I'm 48 so what, real men do cry.... but this was laid on my heart.
