thanks again guys
DoubleF - my dad already gave me a pocket watch for Matthew that was his grand father's - so that's pretty awesome. i have a pocket watch that is from my mom's side of the family (from when her dad passed away)
i do really like the video idea and will approach him about it. i hope he goes for it. it will be brutal to record but soooo worth it. i'd love it too if he would say some birthday/anniversary greetings for my mom. it will be so hard for her to watch but at the same time i think it would be so precious to her.
my dad and i have pretty much always been on great terms (which i'm so thankful for), so all the stuff i'll be saying to him in my letter is just reaffirming him and telling him in different ways how much he means to me.
Capt - i'm not sure who is writing the eulogy. i'll have to ask my folks tomorrow when i see them. i know my mom wants me to go with her to the funeral home to get things started on that stuff - not looking forward to that.
again - thanks to all who have been posting in here. i truly appreciate all the stuff in the thread
