Just read this on the judging forum, and was truly touched by the story of Rich LaTorre and his Dad. I apologize for cross-posting, but for those who don't look at that page (which I usually don't), here it is- a must read:
What is life really about- i.e. why live it at all, with all the garbage going on in the world today? THIS type of story is what it's about to me- loving and caring about who we love/care about, and enjoying what we enjoy- NOW- while we can because we just never know...
Although the story has a sad ending, I accept that we're all going to die someday; and at the same time I felt sad for Rich's loss, I was much more uplifted by the fact that he was able to get to SB with his dad, and did what just what he and his dad had hoped to do.
It is these types of stories that keep me willing to stand up and defy the problems in life and in the world- as God intended.[^]
Rich- I'm sorry for your loss, and very glad you were able to have that experience with your father. The car may stay with you, or it may not; it's just a thing... but those memories can NEVER be taken away form you.
P.S. Upon re-reading the title of this thread, I realized some might think it was to do with me and Linda; OT, she had her surgery yesterday, is doing great (but sore) and they found NO CANCER[^][^] Life is good, God is great, and more Studebakers will be coming to Studebakeracres on the IOMT[8D][8D][8D]
