Your new pup looks handsome. We are getting on OK here. It has been a bumpy road for the last few couple years with dad's cancer and his passing but we'll get through it one way or another.

Mom, my sister and I were there with him when he passed. Gut-wrenching experience. And it will be a tough road ahead as well. Lots of stuff on my plate right now. I suppose that's OK as it will keep me from dwelling on it all too much right now.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-24158301933102656442017-11-25T12:42:41.895-05:002017-11-25T12:42:41.895-05:00My condolences.

Overall, I'd say he grabbed the brass ring. It's hard on the remaining family, I know. But you should all feel pretty good about the support you gave him.
