SAT...you are the ' face ' to this example of the human story we are all a part of...one that has the exact same beginning for us all . BUT , we all have a different and unique ending facing us . WHAT we do in between these 2 events is what matters . When I read the obits in the paper everyday , it amazes me how some people have lived their lives...
...and how much some people have NOT...
The best cliché I can think of that would sum up my life...NO REGRETS...

Hey all,
I am Brian and wanted to share my Dad's situation. My father is dying from exposure to agent orange. At least that is what they have told us. Pop was admitted to the VA hospital in Baltimore 3 days ago. He was coherent the first day but has not improved and is now on oxygen and not talking much. Looking at all these things on this forum, I did not realize everything that he was sharing this with you. He gave me his password yesterday and told me to let you know how he is doing, Dad has always been adamant about helping people in all situations. I remember a couple years ago on Christmas we all got a hand written card saying " I have given you the gift of paying it forward" and that had he spent the Xmas money on others who needed it more. I do not ride or own a motorcycle. Dad has been passionate about bikes long before I was born. My father enlisted when he was only 17. My grandparents, I am told had to agree to let him enlist. Many times I have heard the tale of how he spent his 18th birthday in boot camp. Sorry, I don't know how to describe what a fantastic father he has been to me. He always loved me and I am the person I am today only because of him. Doctors are telling us he doesn't have much time left. In his will it tells me that the Patriot Guard Riders will take care of him when he dies. Dear God, I am crying hard now..... Please remember my Dad

I lost my Dad not long ago too Brian. I know this is a very, very difficult time. Stay close by him and tell you you love him, even if it seems he can't hear you. And hold fast to the great thoughts you have about someone who is obviously a great man.

I second that. And know that in sharing his journey, your Dad continues to help others. I hope I'm not overstepping in saying that each and every person that he has touched in this forum have learned from him. I know that I have. God Bless your Dad and your entire family and stay strong. May his legacy live on in the example he has set.
