What's this?

Confession.


My Dad just turned 85...and while he is not ill...I can sense that his time with us may be short. I have put myself in your shoes more times than I can count recently...and I have come up empty. I have come to the realization that you must also have come to my friend. This is the most impossible thing a son can ever expect to take on in his life. I haven't been on the board a lot lately...so I've missed anything that you may have shared about your father's passing. You have my condolences on your loss...and my very best wishes for your day tomorrow. I suspect when the moment arrives...whether you have remarks prepared or not...you will be brilliant.
