Well, this is going to be on of those personal posts. You are all my friends, and friends you can tell anything, right?
I've recently received a message about my father back home in Sweden. He is sick and doesn't have long left. I will be going home very soon to see him; I just hope I make it there in time.
Remember to take good care of the people you love, and tell them often how much you care for them.

Robert, I am so sorry to hear this. Has he been sick for a long time?
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Robert,
I am sorry to hear about your father. My father lives 900 miles away in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago. The man is 87 years old and still gets around on his own. I expect the phone call to come at anytime.
My prayers are with you, your family and especially your dad. I pray for peace for all at this precious time. May this time bring your family closer together and be used to share the love with each other.

Thanks for your support, my friends. My dad has cancer in the bones and he is in a lot of pain. I'm going to go as soon as I can get a ticket.

Yes Robert,
My dad also has cancer in his bones. It is mostly in his ribs and shoulders. He has had treatment and improved over the summer, but as we all know cancer cannot be beat. It is just a matter of time before it comes back. My sympathies are with you. If your father is like my father (most of the old timers think a like) everything has been taken care of and they are ready. My dad had everything prepared back when he was in his early 70s. Be strong my friend, your family will need your strength to help pull them through.
