    Sorry, Pops. Sounds like he was a pretty awesome guy. Hang in there.

    Thanks again. Yes, I think he was awesome, and the greatest lesson he taught those around him was to love each other, and to look for the humor in life - he was a master of both.

    Wish I could reach all the way over to Minnesota to give you a hug Poppers.

    Sending you positive thoughts and wishing you strength.

    p.s. Thanks for the excellent reminder. I'll make sure to tell my family "I love you" when I leave for work tomorrow morning.

    Wow. You come from good family. Were you the only jw influence? It appears to not have had that much affect.

    Open mind, you'll have to reach a bit farther than Minnesota and into Wisconsin (or maybe it's a bit shorter if you are east of me ). Regardless, I appreciate the sentiment.

    Satanus - nobody in my family is/was a JW, including me. We were brought up as Roman Catholics. My interest in JWs stems from an incident I had as a teacher when a 4th grade girl wanted permission to pass out WT literature at school. Of course, I had to refuse her, but it prompted an investigation into what would cause such a request by someone so young. That investigation led me to this place, and I've been here ever since. What I've learned has been shocking, eye-opening, entertaining, and enlightening. I love this place and the people here. I am honored to have you as friends, even if it is via a computer screen.

    ' nobody in my family is/was a JW, including me. '

    That'll teach me for ASSuming. The jw connection is interesting.

    ' I am honored to have you as friends, even if it is via a computer screen.'
