DrKerry Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Was gonna go down to see my Dad today as he hasn't been doing to well. Got the call last night at 10pm saying he has gone. My Dad is the one who got me hooked onto model cars when I was a kid. He's seen my accumilation of kits over the years and didn't realize how big I've gotten into them. I have about 4 or 5 of his older builds within my collection that he gave me a few years ago. He's gonna be missed for sure.....

DrKerry Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks all. I know he is in a better place now, not hurting. It's hard for the ones left behind. I have a few regrets about it. Wishing I could of walked the fields with him more looking for Indian artifacts, got in the boat with him more and went fishing. I'm not going to let it beat me up, just a few things I wish I would of taken the time to do with him. I have a ton of memories that I'll keep with me. Just sucks as 66 is too young!!!!

PappyD340 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 So sorry to hear of your loss Kerry, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!!
DrKerry Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks all, I know memories are priceless and worth more than I know. I know we all have the shoulda, woulda, coulda's. I wasn't around my dad in my younger years being a Navy man. That and my mom and he divorced when I was young and he started a new family. It wasn't until I was around 20 that I started to want to have a bond with my dad. Looking back that was the best decision I made. He wasn't one to step forward and say hey, I screwed up by not being there for you. I sure wasn't gonna be the one that when he was on his death bed saying hey, I screwed up for not being the son I should of. I wanted him in my life and am glad I have the memories.. All that said, it doesn't make it any easier not having him here, and it sure won't bring him back physically. He will be missed and he will be loved as long as I walk this earth!!!! God Bless!!!!!
