[R-390] I sense a little SPARK! is back

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 21:41:42 -0600

I second that....I lost my Father two days after Thanksgiving after 9 months
of fighting a terminal brain tumor....Sure do miss him...he was only 70 and
in otherwise excellent health!

We never know how long the good Lord has allotted us on this earth...and our
plans are not usually his plans.

Someone told me a few months back "It's later than you think!"  He is
probably right!  I've felt awful old for 47 lately!
