Hi Brian

Just adding my condolences. You help so many on here I  just hope that everones well wishes are some comfort to you and Mrs B for your recent losses.

Hi everyone,

Thanks Kim, Netty, Sue, Max, Lucie, Jo, and River. You are all so kind, especially as you all have so much going on in your own lives. I have a little story I love to tell which I would love to share with you all

When dad was driving us through Calgary 23 years ago, Mrs B said "You two, your so alike; you walk the same and even talk the same". A lot of other people has already made similar comments. Anyway, my dad had the car radio on, tuned into a country music station. The very next song was one by the singer/ songwriter, Paul Overstreet and the song was called "Seeing my father in me" and the words included "I walk the way he walks, I even talk the way he talks". It was almost creepy and next day I bought the cassette tape and that song is now one of my favorite songs. I will always remember that day and whenever I hear that song will think of my dad.

I have regrets that I didnt listen to Mrs B years earlier when she wanted to find dad but at least I got to meet him (and my three sisters and two brothers in Canada) albeit for just a month. I will always remember him as a fun loving person who loved to tease. Thats where I get it from I guess.

Thanks again ladies. your kind words and thoughts means so much, both to me and Mrs B and will I know help me get through this painful time, Brian.

Hi Brian.......gosh that is a very strange coincidence Brian and really makes you wonder if somehow things in life are kind of mapped out for us in some way or another. It is a lovely moment to remember of something you and your Dad were able to share together. Sending you a hug x

Brian, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad. Thank you for sharing that special visit your had with him when the radio played that song. What a good memory you have in knowing that you and he had so much likeness and so special for Mrs. B. to tell you that. I wish you peace at this very sad time.
