I want to apologize.  My father is 'Golfnut.'  We have lost and come close to losing quite a few people in my family since Christmas.  My dad has always sympathized so much with those who have lost those that they love and does feel it to be important to do the same.  

In the loss that I have experienced in my 25 years, I have come to realize that our society does not respect those that have passed like they used to.  This may be due to the media or conditioning by seeing death more than past generations have seen.

The only thing that I hope is gained from this post is the acknowledgment and respect for those that have passed and the reason for Daddy's harsh words.  He is a wonderful soul with too much passion and love for others and the game of basketball (and of course golf!).  Sometimes he does just get ahead of himself.  

Personally, this may be my only post, but these four years have not gone without me reading this blog.  I have just chosen not to write.  My sister finishes her senior year this year.  Let it be known that I am so proud of her and the growth I have seen in the past four years of all of the leaving seniors.  Best of luck not only to the AC seniors, but to all of the parents of- and graduating atheletes of D3 b-ball.
