Increase the Dolphin knowledge amongst the brother and sisters

I hope everything goes well for your fathers situation. Enjoy every minute you have with your father. You never know what could be your last interaction with him.
I recently lost my father. Talked to him on the phone on Memorial Day. 6 days later he was gone. I didn't realize at the time that I would never talk to him again.
So appreciate every moment.

Sorry for the loss of your dad. I know his time left is narrowing so I want to see him as often as I can.

enjoy your time with pops. it'll be mid 80s in NC this weekend but im sure it'll be humid as a mudda. if you happen to step out to a bar in the midst of visiting, I have nothing to offer you on what you will see. the entire state is diverse in the fan base, even with the hometown panthers. I can pull for the panthers, but wayyyyy too many steelers and cowboys fans for my liking (but sadly that's everywhere). luckily I don't think ive ever ran into a jets or bills fan in NC so that's a plus

Thanks for the update bro. I won't be hitting any bars just having family time.

I look forward to sharing beers with some of the brothers and sisters in 2015 by coming out for a Miami home game. This year I am out of vacation time as I have to go and see my father who recently had some very serious health concerns.

Hope you dad is doing better John. Thoughts and prayers to your family.
 
Here's a little something someone sent me year's ago, which I never forgot. It was written for husbands and wives but, applies to all family

If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Thank you,"
"Please forgive me," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
 
I so glad that I told my dad that I loved him before he hung up.

In his own way I think he was saying good bye to me. My father never liked to talk on the phone. He would say hi and that is about it.
Or help me with some engineering or fix it question and then he was done. He was the original McGuiver and could fix anything.
I would mostly talk to my mom and she would relay info to him. On Memorial Day he asked to talk to me.
He went in to detail about how he was feeling (depressed) his lack of sleep for over a week, and the fact that he thought he was losing his mind (alzheimer's)
Talked to me for a full 10 minutes. After I hung up I thought to my self that is not like Dad.

The following Sunday he woke up and committed suicide at 78 years of age. That phone call from my aunt with the news was just unfathomable.
I wished I would have said more in that phone call. But I did tell him that I loved him.
