I intended to be a newcomer last year. Right after I signed up here my Pops was diagnosed with leukemia. Had to put much of life on hold so as not to miss a moment while my Brother and I were there for him as best we could be. He was always there for us. Unfortunately he didn't overcome the sickness. No sadness but for selfish reasons. Instead I'm grateful to have been his son. Hard to lose my best friend and mentor. There is solace though in knowing he's in The Lords Kingdom. When my day comes we'll be together again. On those nice days when I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin I'll know he's out there smiling down on me. Every gift and every good thing comes down from above, from Our Father of lights. Pops taught me that. Please feel no pity fellas, just clearing up the hiatus.
