Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz if you pass through North Dakota on the way please give me a call so we can get together and by all means GO SEE YOUR FATHER!

Robert I don't know you but I do know that you don't get a do over when you lose a parent. Get on the plane and make your memories

Hello Vegas,  As much as Mom enjoyed the time spent with me, and my wife of the time, it was I who benefitted most from our visits, her last year.  Do it for selfish reason's Vegas.  You both will benefit beyond words. 

Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz Time is precious because we don't know how much time we have.  Spend it wisely.

A great thought Vegas Bob. Do not let the time slip away. I lost my father last October and think about him everyday.

I really can't even imagine living away from my family. I see my parents weekly.

Good to hear that you are coming home VB!  I am sure your dad will be delighted.  And if you get a chance, stop by to say hello.

Good morning Bob,

It seems lie yesterday we visited when in actuality it was longer than we expected and soon we wonder where has the time gone.

Make yourself a great day.

The younger one needs to visit the older one as it is easier for you VB. Maybe all these little signals around you are telling you with your wild traveling self to visit Minnesota. It is not as hard as you think and you may be overthinking this. Time is precious. Remember that Cats in the Cradle song, and take the lyrics to heart.

Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz You have to make that trip, otherwise you will forever regret not doing it.  

Time flies when you are having fun!  You should definitely go and see your Father, even when he is doing well.  Nothing can replace being face to face with those that we care most about.

Bob...you need to make that visit before you say "I should have..."

VB/AB, very VERY important--look at the signs--they're all saying go see your dad. My father, my HERO, died at 65 and when he found out that he had cancer, it was about 6 months from diagnosis to death. And we lived 3, 000miles away from each other. I made it a couple of weeks before his very graceful death at home, but sure would have wanted to spend some of the more healthy last months with him. 

Time passess so fast and before we know it a loved one is gone. If you can work in a trip you won't regret it.
