Got the call to meet my dad, one week from his 70th, at the hospital. He had just had a stroke and couldn't feel his right arm. After many tests it was determined that it was 'just' a tia stroke which will not leave any permanent damage but is an indicator of a major stroke to come if adjustments in his meds and lifestyle are not made.
Just finishing up a Perdomo Champagne and reflecting on the morning. I wasn't scared then but I'm scared now. People talk about heros and my dad is my hero. I don't want him to go anywhere. Please say a prayer or think good thoughts, send good vibes, whatever you are into. His name is Leo and is the kind of man your father always wanted you to grow up and be.

To top is off my wife lost someone very near and dear to her last week. Not sure what's going on out there but I wish it would stop.
