Rob,

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my father back in 2005, and 
it won't be long before I lose my mother, too, unfortunately.

I try to remember all the good times my father and I had together as I 
grew up; I'll never forget us taking turns at my first CoCo 2 typing in 
that first BASIC program from the book, and finding it wouldn't run 
because we forgot to hit Enter at the end of each line (instead, we 
spaced over!)...

I don't know your age; you may be older than me and know all of this, 
you may be younger and just experiencing it new; it will get better, and 
you'll have the memories, and even if they are a bit painful to 
remember, they are ultimately something to hold on to, and cherish.

If there is anything that we here can do, let us know.
