For participating in PUSH PULL for Pancreatic Cancer

Our story…

"Lenny, is that you?", is what my dad asked as a visitor walked in on June 7th 2015. Lenny was his older brother who died of pancreatic cancer a year prior. I asked my dad what he said and he shook his head and said, "never mind". I often think of that time and wonder if it was the drugs talking or if my dad was here on Earth physically but mentally somewhere else. He passed away from pancreatic cancer on June 8th. Often people say to me, "your dad would be proud of you" and I remember this out of body experience on June 7th and can't help but think that maybe people should say, "your dad IS proud of you." While June 7th was the last time I hugged my dad I can always feel his presence. He had that effect on people in life too. Ever present. I once broke his case that holds his bolts and rather than fess up to it and take the punishment I took the whole case and buried it under leaves in the woods. Somehow he still found it. Ever present.
