First and foremost.....condolences to you and your family on the loss of a good man. They say we are a reflection of those we admire, and from who you appear to be here, he must have been a great dad.

I lost my Father in 2011 to cancer after a years long battle. My dad faced chemo and got better...then it came back. After battling it for several years he finally said. "I have had enough" and told them no more. He called me and did something he never did....asked me to take time off and bring the family back from out of state so he and I could talk. I knew what was coming, but was not prepared to see what I did when I arrived.

I spent the rest of the time he had ( a couple of months) just having Father and Son talks....like we did when I was young, only without all my youthful sarcasm. Those last 2 months we spent a lifetime of doing what we should have done many years before...no BS talk about life. After so many weeks of being away from work he looked at me and said..."Son, you have a life and a job...go do them". I left a day later and 3 days after that my brother in law called me and told me my sister had left the room to get a coffee...and when she came back dad had passed. (He was in Hospice)

Like many on here I am a Chiefs/Royals fan because of my dad. He taught me baseball and bought me my first lefthanders glove...it was used, but to an 9 y/o boy it was all the world. (I still have that glove)

When the Royals won the World Series I heard my Dad's voice say...I told you that they would wait until I was gone to get better and win.

When the Chiefs won their first Super Bowl in 50 years...I cried.....mostly because the man who taught me to love football and the Chiefs...my longtime Fantasy Football partner...was not around to share it with me. It still breaks my heart he didn't live to see Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

Let me also echo the Colonoscopy check.....I hated my first one just because I hate crapping so much your butt hurts to even think about it. But now with my health issues I get one as ordered by my Doctor.
