Tidbits of wisdom from a great man

My mom was going through things at her house, cleaning up and stuff. She found an old photo album that my dad had filled with newspaper clippings, editorials mostly, that he read over the years. I thought I'd take my next few posts, post a few of those clippings, and post my own comments on what was said.

I do this as a tribute to my father. You see, he passed away 4 years ago on March 2nd, due to Ideopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a rare, but fatal disease, of which there is no cure. It effects the lungs by slowly filling them up with fibrous material, depriving the victim of oxygen. It's a horrible disease. Not one a son likes to watch his father go through. More recently, it's become more known, with the likes of Rev. Bill Bright and Jerry Lewis both having the disease, but still, nothing can be done for the people with the disease, and most die within 5 years of diagnosis.

Needless to say, I really miss my dad. So, in the coming days...


Here's to you, Dad.
