DaddyW
At 1:16 this morning I received an email from a very special and wonderful friend, TxRed. The subject of the email was very short. It said: "Sad News."
It was at 1:16 this morning that I found out that her father had passed away yesterday, March 10th. Her father, DadddyW, was a sweet, funny, generous and loving man. From the time I became friends with TxRed in 1993, her dad treated me like I had been a long time friend of the family and always welcomed me with open arms.
I've been sitting here in Dallas for the past 21 hours trying to figure out if there was any possible way for me to drive down to her hometown to attend the funeral. It would be about a 6 hour drive each way and I would have to miss two days of work. There is another funeral in the town that DaddyW had spent the past 5 or so years of his life on Monday, and it would be about 2 hours closer, but would also be a long way to drive for just one day.
I'm torn about what to do and my heart weeps for TxRed and her whole family. DaddyW will be missed, but I know we will see him again some day. Please keep TxRed and her family in your prayers.

If you feel you need to be there then go. It sounds like you have many fond memories about him.
Take care
