Best of luck for a smooth transition to the retrofit.

Messy1 · 06-03-2008, 12:23 PM

I wish you all the luck in the world. I am sure everything will work out fine!

Just had a bit of heart trouble to deal with myself a few months ago with a uncle I am very close with. He had a heart attack at my parents house right on the kitchen table. I drove him to the hospital myself. He's doing fine now, but was real scary for a few days there! It definitely makes you cherish each additional day you get to spend with your loved ones when something like this happens. I know it has for me.

Tell 'em to stick a turbocharger in there as well, Lucky.

Good luck - hope it all goes well.

Good to hear that he has his date. Good luck to your dad!

Lucky13 · 06-03-2008, 03:50 PM

Thanks again fellas... I must say that I've been blessed with the most wonderful parents that ANYONE could wish for, the kind that everybody deserve...the same that I've been blessed with some amazing friends, which you lot are among, and indeed you all are at the top of the list.
Should the day ever come that I'll become a dad myself, I want to be like him, no more, no less...

“It is much easier to become a father than to be one.”

“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.”

“Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad”

“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.”

I don't say this often enough.... I love you mum and dad!
Thanks for making the person who I am today....

A4K · 06-04-2008, 04:37 AM

We're grateful to them too, for a great mate.

Lucky13 · 06-12-2008, 12:10 PM

Njaco · 06-12-2008, 02:02 PM

You're not so bad yourself Lucky despite what we think of ya!

Soren · 06-12-2008, 09:19 PM

Best of luck from here !

Well, my dad leaves for the hospital tomorrow morning for his heart operation and I'm already a worried nervous wreck....felt that I had to take Wednesday and Thursday night off next week, as I thought I'd need that after his operation, to get my nerves back inside....

To all you dads on the forum, we kids might not always tell you how really much you mean to us and how really much we DO love you, but the believe me when I say, THAT love knows no boundaries....
