Good news/celebration

A quick note.

I'd like to congratulate my father on kicking six different kinds of crap out of Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I guess eating healthy and staying in shape has some benefits.  I wish someone had told me that.  I'll have to remember that in my next life.

There are a lot of people in this world I can do without.  My father isn't one.

When I was a teenager I had a lot of anger towards my father.  That's not uncommon for that age, but it still hurt him.  Years later, when I began my extended run of fuck-ups, my Dad was always there for me.

I've actually been very fortunate to retain a small cadre of loyal and supportive family members, and I appreciate them all.

But it starts with Dad.

Score one for the good guys.
