Hi Val, I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your kind words. I was really moved by what your wrote about your dad. Btw, if you want to blog you just click on User CP, it is on the far left in the dark blue menu bar up top. Select "blog" (it's the last option) and then select "your blog" and then "post to your blog."
I am glad you found us and I hope the forum brings you some comfort.
