My father called earlier this evening with some bad news, he is 83 years old a veteran of WWII. His doctors told him today that because of a heart condition he pobably has about 3 months to live, They said that a operation could be performed, but the risk would be very great. So he has deciced that he would rather die naturally than prolong his life as a invalid.
I agreed with him, he is a good man and has lived a long life
One thing that he did say to me tonight that I thought that I might share with you is that he is sorry that he lived to see the day that our countries military would be used by the president as it is being used by Bush. He said that he fought in world war II to stop just this kind of aggression<\
I will miss my father. he is a strong man with the compassion of ten, and I hope that he dies believing the good he has done, not on how G. W. Bush has destroyed his vision of the country he was williing to die for.
