Thank you for your condolences, HP. I don't think I've told his story because he passed (4 July 2008) before I joined this board. I believe I have mentioned him in passing though. He was an amazing musician, brother, husband, father, friend and I felt closest to him of all my siblings. Leukemia took his life far too quickly. He would have been 45 on his next birthday which was a month away. There are still many times where I've wanted to call him up to talk with him about stuff and he's visited me in my dreams a couple times.
If I did not say it before, I hope you are grieving your father well, and it sound as though you may be. Was he sick for long before he passed? Part of me thinks it may be easier to deal with death if one is very old, or very sick for a while before they go. Seems like the sudden ones are the worst.
Your new year's eve doesn't sound boring to me, it sounds delightful. Cuddle time is the best!
Thanks for reminding me, I need to recharge my Starbucks Rewards card and buy more beans tomorrow. Meant to do it today but was too lazy to get dressed
I wish you the best of luck cutting your Mochas cold turkey!

Anyway good to read that it seems you are adjusted to his departure. It did not take me long to adjust to losing may father last year (he was 3 days short of his 80th birthday, a good run I suppose).
As for mine: Spent it watching Toy Story 3 cuddling with my grandson by the fireplace whilst Mrs. Humane, my daughter and her spouse (my grandson's father) were sharing wine spritzer's out in the garage, and trying vainly to keep my eyes open (I am a morning person and rarely stay up beyond 9 PM). Boring to you guys I am sure but a very contented pastime for us.
New Year's resolution: giving up my daily Starbucks triple cafe mocha. It will save me 4.50 a day and plus I don't need the extra calories. I put on 4 pounds last year and I am sure the whipped cream had something to do with it!
