Goodbye Pappa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong...wonder how I got along

Goodbye Pappa, it's hard to die.

My father and I never got along. He said I was doing the world wrong. He had such grand dreams,I am sorry he couldn't pass those dreams onto me.I would love to say that peace is the answer. I would love to say that talking would solve all problems. I just saw what happened to our greatest dreams.

He suffered from a genetic disorder, and wouldn't take any help from me. I always thought him foolish, but in the end I knew he had the last laugh. I had to pull his plug, as the doctors would not honor his DNR.No charges are being brought up. I have better things to do than sue doctors.

You have my condolenses.

Condolences for your loss...and a swift kick upside the head for quoting one of the worst songs ever recorded (right behind MacArthur Park in the pretentiousness category, and with ham-fisted use of the gear-shift to keep dragging it out). A second boot to the head for quoting the song in the wrong context (it's about the first-person dying, not said person's father).

My condolenses

I'm sorry Y.T.

I'd send flowers, but they're such a hassle. Is there a charity that I could donate to on behalf of your family?

Has he been refrigerated since the time of death? If so, some of his nature may remain intact for Translation (if his nervous system was not deteriorated by the disease itself).

...

If this line of inquiry is as inappropriate as consensus now strongly indicates, sincere apologies are added to the relevant condolences.

You may not like the song, but my father did and I did die. I have died in a sevral ways.I died when I eurpted it. But now is not the time for bickering I have more important matters to attend to. I an warmed by your condolences.

I thank both of you so your words.

Well, you can pretty much donate you money to any charity and you will be doing right by him. He was very Liberal and thought that only carring about one cause was about as wrong as not caring.

His body was turned into ashs as I made the firs post. It was what he wanted.

I thank you for your kind words as well.

Condolences from myself and my family, YT.

Talked to some people today. An inner city school in Johannesburg, South Africa will be getting some new computers.

I know it can't replace him, but I hope that in some way in honors his memory.

I am sorry for your loss Y.T. the loss of a parent is often very hard.
