Family comes first Doug; no need to apologize. Sorry to hear about your dad. That's a big hit 'cause Dad's are "always there". I lost mine a few years ago and it's hard to believe that now I'm the "patriarch" of the family.
Congrats on the new Bride. Hopefully you made as good a choice as I did 44 years ago!

Thank you all so very much. It's been a very emotional month. Coming into work where Joel and I have worked together with Pop for almost 3 decades is extremely difficult, but it's like he is here with us everyday.
Going home to my wife, who was very close with my Pop, and knowing she really does understand and is 100% with me helps a great deal.
I always said I wasn't ready to grow up, but I guess sometimes things you're not ready for get thrust upon us and we manage as we go.
All you guys are awesome. Your wishes, condolences and support shows how amazing the Campfire community is.
