Sorry for your loss, Derek. Keep your memories close.

I’m glad I checked into my morning HCH look while on the can, like normal, or my wife would be wondering why I was sniffling so much.
Might not feel like it right now, even though you did a pretty good job of getting it across, but be happy you had those final moments. Not everyone gets those. I wish I would have.
CSB time. The year my Super-fan dad died UW also had a noodle armed QB who tended to fall down while scrambling and made the playoffs.
So time to bet the house on the DWAGS the rest of the year.

Derek,
My father passed away last year with similar memory issues and your story was very emotional and touching for me. Very beautifully written, and I vividly felt so many of the things you just wrote in my own life over the course of this year. Especially when you wrote about touching the grass and looking at the sky as time just sort of folds in on itself. You are a poet. and that is not hyperbole.
It is very painful and difficult to watch a family patriarch and gregarious wonderful man lose his spark. You have to hate how the world just keeps moving sometimes.
I don't know you, and have never met you, but your dad appears to be right about you. You are a beautiful man, and I am sorry for your loss.

One of the best tributes I've ever read from a non-technically gifted writer. Just being there for your dad in those last days is as honorable a tribute you could pay the old man, especially in your condition. Any father would be proud to have you as a son.
As Warren Zevon sang before his looming death "Keep him in your heart for awhile."

My heart (what little I have of one) hurts to hear of this. I wish you and your family the best and am praying. Hang in there.

I'm sorry to learn of the loss of your dad, Derek. I enjoyed reading your tribute to him.

Gotta get a little humor in here

When I saw the headline I was going to answer, who the hell is Ron Johnson? Then I figured everyone on this bored is either too old or too young to remember Fast Times at Ridgemont High so I didn’t.
I feel I made the right choice.

Ron Johnson was also a Michigan tailback in the 60s
