Absolutely. I'm sure many of us know what it feels like. It's hard. But I have nothing except amazing memories, and those will help get through.  Thank you.

My condolences on your loss. And to paraphrase what you said, every day is a good day to stop for a few minutes and think of who we are thankful for in our lives and why.

I'm a firm believer in that. I'm happy that I had already thought that way before all this happened. Otherwise, I would probably hold it against myself for not taking the time to realize how thankful I was for him in my life. Thank you very much, Marc.

Ah, let the love-fest begin!
I'm in a rather exuberant mood at the moment, because as of 10 minutes ago, I finally solved something I've been googling and oodling and noodling for the last few days: how to auto-login in to Debian on a Beaglebone Black and initialize the LCD and ttyO2 capes automatically and run whatever app I want run.
And I just now figured it out!!! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
Linux is cool, but it also is sooooo frustrating. In some obscure corner of stackoverflow I finally came across a post saying that "inittab" (the old way of controlling logins) is obsolete, and everything nowadays is handled by "systemd". Of course, there are a gazzillion posts on how to do what I wanted to do with inittab, none of which of course work.
I suppose if I were more up to snuff on Linuxee things, I would have known that "systemd" was now the in-vogue thing.
Anyways, at the end of the day, Linux is again the favored suitor and there is much rejoicing in the kingdom.

The strength and weakness of Linux/Unix is that you can configure / customize everything. It's a blessing and a curse. It makes the learning much more of a pain. But, when you get your head wrapped around it, it's hard to go back to a Windows server.
In level of complexity, from easiest to hardest to use, it's like this: Mac -> Windows -> *nix. And it doesn't help that *nix has many influences from different vendors over the years with everyone having a hand in the pot. But, if you can survive it, you can do some really awesome stuff that would require a lot of special programming in another OS.

Sorry for your loss.

Illness sucks: My grand-father died from Alzheimer two weeks ago. A month from now, he still would recognize us. Two weeks later, we were total strangers to him, or at least, he did not react anymore.

Alzheimers sucks. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. My grand-father died of the same.

I'm sorry for your loss as well. My dad's mother passed from Alzheimer's a couple years ago. However, she always remembered her older family members. She only ever had trouble remembering the young (<5 years old) great-grandchildren. That's a tough time as well, and I wish you and your family the best, too.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. In just over a week I will be taking a trip to honor my wife's father's last wishes. He passed away from complications due to cancer as well. It will be a year this upcoming October. I know exactly how you feel, just a month before it happened, he was up and active and joking. We were talking about how in less than a year he was going to walk his daughter down the aisle for our wedding.
It is hard and doesn't get much easier. That said, remember the good, the happy, and the fun. As hard as it was, I know from the bottom of my heart that at least in our case he never would have wanted to see us sad. So that evening we opened a few finely crafted beers, had a New York style pizza, and laughed and joked... and even cried a little. Don't mourn his passing, honor the life he led.
Feel free to drop me a line if you need.

Your thoughts are so very true, and I agree 100%. That helps me out greatly, and it's much appreciated. I definitely plan to relive our best memories together over the past 27 years. My family will be gather at my house this Sunday for a sort of informal memorial. Food, fun, plenty of children, laughter, jokes, and sharing our greatest memories of my father. I mean, great memories are the only memories anyone has. He lived only to selflessly help others and make others happy. Thank you so very much, RJOberg.

Sorry to hear that man, and you're right. Life is a gift. We take it for granted all too much.

We definitely do. It's very easy to take it for granted, and that's part of being human. Only the lessons in time can teach us to appreciate life more than we already do. It's a sad part of reality, but in the end, I think it's worth it. Thank you.

Losing a parent is tough. I lost both of mine (5 days apart) over 15 years ago. Mother to cancer, father to a broken heart. It took many years before I had my first day without a painful memory about those days.
