I'm sitting here, crying. I just got an email from my Dad. He's disowned my brother pretty much (for fairly good reason, I might add). His car broke down on Christmas Day, and he had to turn back, go home, and had peanut butter and toast for dinner. His hard drive failed, and took with it about 3 years worth of work. He was taking it in to have it all backed up, and the files out on yet another drive... and it blew up in the shop. He sent it to a data recovery place, but everything is gone. He's started over again, but it was a pretty big blow. He's having financial trouble. I think the *only* good news that he had to give was that he got my card on time, and that after he pays down some of his debt, he will be visiting an old friend in Costa Rica, and possibly considering moving there.
I love my Dad so much, and I hate that he is hurting. And he is muchly hurting for him to even admit a little bit of it to me. Last year, when he had cancer, I spent Chrsitmas with him at the hospital, after he had half of his right lung removed. He made it though that, and I was there. I feel so badly that I am not there for him now. He has always been there for me. Even in the bad times, I have ALWAYS known that he loves me, even if NOBODY else in the world does.
Please, some energy to Del in SD, if you can. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
