Col.-so at least one of them was raised right).  He passed quickly from acute myeloid leukemia.  He faced death with a smile.  To him if the chemo worked he could stay with us, if not, he would be with our mother, he told me he won either way.  It was his time.  He had a great life.  He grew up in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina and his childhood is really something you would see out of Mayberry.  I miss him every day.  Some days it's tough, but I always think of his legacy and strive to do him proud.  Sounds like your father will leave one hell of a legacy too. Hang in there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
