Very sorry to hear this, Country Gent. Those of us who were so blessed as to have a really good Dad, are richly blessed indeed! Many do not these days, and it's getting worse. I'm not sure just how this will effect our future as a nation, but it can't be a good thing. Just carry all he taught you and told you in your heart, as a way to continue to honor him and show your love for him. He'll smile on you for that, and you'll be blessed.
