Well, I got 56K'd one night [tonight in fact {whoda thunk}] because that's what my modem does when it recieves a phone call.
I picked up the phone in my room and the I heard a voice that I haven't heard in quite a long time.
The sound of Kary's voice in tears.
Naturally, I asked what was up. She made a teary reply, then told the details to me, with a number of breaks in between sentences.
Apparently, Kary's father, Kieth, had died of a heartattack tonight.
The main supposed cause was overeating. Kieth ate lots on holidays, and tonight, when he was 49, it caught up to him.
Now, I'm saddened, naturally. Kieth was a great guy, real nice and he new how to raise daughters good. [not make them spoiled, yet happy also, that sorta stuff] and he knew that I wasn't the kind of friend that wanted to have Kary as a friend just because she was hot, and Kieth knew I wouldn't be doing anything of that sorts to Kary. He was a father who trusted his daughters friends, and it proved him well. He knew who could be trusted and who couldn't be.
Well, now that he's gone, Kary has had a last name change. It used to be Murphy, but now it's her mother's maiden name now, that of Albers.
So, I know that I haven't ever referenced Kieth before, but just know that he was a great man that pased away far before he should have.
I ask nothing of you, other than to post any things on your mind, things that may comfort Kary. She will need the support. She loved her father dearly, and is very distraught about this all.....
