saw my dad for the first time in 6 years!

ok, I posted this at the corral but I am damn happy...

I have been in the Corps for 9 years now...only got to go home a few times a long while ago. My Parents came out for a week to see my 3 y/o son (first time for my dad and may be the last if things go bad)
My pop somehow survived some really bad cancer and seeing him today was really hard on me. My dad was THE tough guy...built solid, vietnam vet, worked hard labor for a living to keep the family comfortable and would never back down from $hit!
cancer, surgery, drinking HEAVILY, and other illnesses have taken thier toll...
He was barely a shadow of the once powerful man he was physically, but sharp as a razor mentally, happier than I had ever seen him (especially when my son jumped up to meet him yelling grampa!)
Of course I took him for a ride in the stang (he has never been in a car with me driving) and used almost a half bottle of nitrous...
(ok so this is mushy but I dont give a ******)
Today was the best day of my life. Seeing him and my son together was something I almost never got to see...I am very lucky..
