I was already in the Navy when he and my mother got together. 30 flipping years ago… where does the time go?

SO, he was never a real father figure to me but has been part of my life for a good long while.

He is 84 with dementia, so it is time for these things. He was declining at a steady rate, but this week the bottom just fell out.

I thought he was too stubborn to die. He really did seem a bit invincible.

His only religion was a mix of Joel Osteen and Christian Science. I have no earthly idea what that prepares a person for in the afterlife. Rest assured he will have many masses said for him and I am praying for the grace of true repentance and true contrition.

He could be an extremely aggravating person to be around which is strange because he was a good salesman… Go figure.

I hate this. He will be missed for sure, but I’ve seen the end of Alzheimer’s. This might be better.

SO, fellow internet vagabonds. what ever prayers you pray, if you could offer some up for Dave.

Thank you
