Y.T. Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Goodbye Pappa, please pray for meI was the black sheep of the familyYou tried to teach me right from wrong...wonder how I got alongGoodbye Pappa, it's hard to die.My father and I never got along. He said I was doing the world wrong. He had such grand dreams,I am sorry he couldn't pass those dreams onto me.I would love to say that peace is the answer. I would love to say that talking would solve all problems. I just saw what happened to our greatest dreams.He suffered from a genetic disorder, and wouldn't take any help from me. I always thought him foolish, but in the end I knew he had the last laugh. I had to pull his plug, as the doctors would not honor his DNR.No charges are being brought up. I have better things to do than sue doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeslip Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Condolences for your loss...and a swift kick upside the head for quoting one of the worst songs ever recorded (right behind MacArthur Park in the pretentiousness category, and with ham-fisted use of the gear-shift to keep dragging it out). A second boot to the head for quoting the song in the wrong context (it's about the first-person dying, not said person's father). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Jones Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'm sorry Y.T.I'd send flowers, but they're such a hassle. Is there a charity that I could donate to on behalf of your family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeno Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Has he been refrigerated since the time of death? If so, some of his nature may remain intact for Translation (if his nervous system was not deteriorated by the disease itself)....If this line of inquiry is as inappropriate as consensus now strongly indicates, sincere apologies are added to the relevant condolences.

He was very Liberal and thought that only carring about one cause was about as wrong as not caring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
