I think my Dad would have been a lot like you, Sir Stringer. He was always very interested, but stand-off-ish in my business pursuits. Not aloof, but watching and making sure I was doing well, ready to step in if needed. He was so proud when I went to China after college...

Sorry... I'm getting sappy... I just answered a question over in Bereavement and now I'm in a mooooood. :)

I'm sure your children think the world of you as well.

Got to run and save "our" world today... again wish me luck... :)

Hi you all!!

Heh heh! Cool Central Park. Sorry for not coming earlier but my internet connection is not unlimited and I spent most of it on previous threads. I've still got about 3 ours left, till the end of the month, then, 30 hours again!! I now have to go through the thread. See you perhaps later!

That's good Stringer, you sound like a great father...

I don't know why, but when I read your first post it just reminded me of the times when I wouldn't tell what my Dad thought of what I was doing. I remember times, when I was younger, not caring what anyone thought of me at the moment besides my father. I guess it's that father/son thing...

Not quite finished the reading yet. I got lost in the lower levels of the Castle and suddently, there were no more sounds from the above... I tried to get out but it wasn't an easy way. Well, when I got out, the sunlight amazed me. I was for such a long time in the dark!

Now I hear of a 'dark ducky' impersonating Queen Starby!! I'll look for it at once.

*quack* *quack*

Isn't that it in the distance! Ok, where's Lighting? Ah, here you are, my horse. Quick! Follow the duck!!

Oh, Rebbie just learned of your birthday... sorry to be late, but I was trapped in the castle's secret basement, I got there through your 'door', remember?

Pretty late, but better late than never, so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBBIE

Thank you so much for the "Happy Birthday" wish Unky!! So many friends here made my day very special! If you have to get older, may as well do it with special friends like you and the others!! Thanks again!

You were missed this weekend. Good to see you back. :p

What did you see in the secret basement? I was too scared to try to go through that door! You surely are a brave one. I do have more courage now. Maybe when the Castle reopens, we can all discover all the secret passageways of the castle and the mysteries that lie within!!

HC, do you mind me asking how old you were when you lost your father? Losing mine was so difficult. I didn't realize how much he was my earthly anchor until he was gone. I am sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter how long ago, or so it seems for me and my friends, it still leaves such a void in our lives. He sounds sort of like my dad in being a bit stand-off-ish but always there, ready to help if needed. I am sure you made him very proud!! :)

So I will get a chance to once again see him "perform." We have fun working together, makes the day shorter also........

Catch you all later.....

Treasured moments for you and your son!! It will only get better and sweeter, the times together as you watch him grow and mature into filling your shoes in the company! Tears streaming down my face as I have read the posts this morning! Thank you for sharing about your son and daughter! You sound like a one-of-a-kind type of dad that are few and far between! I am proud to call you my friend! :)

Well, hi Rebbie! It was pitch dark inside, I managed to get a few steps, then WHAM! The passage closed, I don't know how. I got out my pocket lamp torch and wandered my way out as fast as possible. Then I saw a large empty cage, with the lock freshly broken.

Wait! Can it be that... Can it be that it's there that the morphing duck came :confused: That's so mysterious. It seems also that that door can only be accessed from one way, only entering it I mean. I'll have another check once the castle completely renovated.

Got to run... fast now... bye all.:)

Yes, me too Stringer. I forgot to tell you but... you have really wonderful children! Guy gave a great advice of telling them that you were proud of them, that kind of 'strengthen' their relationships with you.

Unknown008 · Jul 28, 2008, 09:33 AM

Bye Stringer! See you later! :)

HistorianChick · Jul 28, 2008, 09:55 AM

Hi Rebbie... no, I don't mind at all. I was 24. It will be five years, come November 21. Holidays just don't "do it" for me anymore... he passed away the weekend before Thanksgiving and it kind of wrecked it for me.

But, he truly is my inspiration in all areas of life... and I can honestly say that I do not have a single bad memory of him.

Unknown008 · Jul 28, 2008, 09:58 AM

Well, you're luckier than me. Mine died last year, and I'm still in the teens...

HistorianChick · Jul 28, 2008, 09:59 AM

My brother was 14... I know how hard it was for him...

Unknown008 · Jul 28, 2008, 10:07 AM

Yes, but YOU were there, and me... *sniff* :( I'm the first child, my little sis was 12, not even going to college... Anyway, I know how you feel, I got through that too.

ISneezeFunny · Jul 28, 2008, 10:14 AM

Hc... you're 29?!
