Chase what mattered
My dad died on Saturday. He made it to 59-3/4, the last "and 3/4" spent fighting sickness in the hospital.
I miss what could have been, but I don't think I miss him for what was. Our estrangement and relative superficiality, however, and the fact that no more solving can occur now, calls me to contemplate what matters as a father to my own two children.
This call makes a certain Chase commercial seem even more distant now than when I blogged about it last May: Chase what [really] matters

Prayers and condolences to you, Sam. I'm sure it's difficult to maybe leave some things unsaid, but the fact that you're thinking about your relationship with your children means you're firmly on the right path.
Please accept my condolences for your father's passing, and thank you for your honesty about your relationship. My prayers are with you and your family.
Sam I am so sorry for your loss. I echo Bill Coffey's comment, if you can work some of those things out with your own kids, then you are way ahead of the game. God bless you during this difficult time.
Thank you, all.
I returned home last night after three days of sorting and tossing and packing his belongings. I'm tired.
Very sorry for your loss, Sam. May God comfort you...and help you to take delight in the children He's given to you
Sam, I'm so sorry to hear this--and even sorrier that I didn't check sooner. Prayers for you and your family.
