Going through a dark time now. Dad is 90, mom is in a nursing home under hospice care and no one can go see her due to CV19. Don't get me started. I'm in GA, dad in MI. Been spending hours every day on the phone with him.
He was in the Coast Guard. Told me this one today. First day on the ship, it was rough and he was on the rail puking his guts out with a few other newbies. An old salt walked by and said, son, you need to develop a stronger stomach. Dad looked back at him and said, what do you mean....I'm throwing it further than anyone.
