Matthew David Edel: 10/5/1941 – 12/5/1990

15 years ago today, my father passed away. It was half my life ago, within about a month of exactly. I don’t really really think about it most of the time, but for some reason I was reminded of it last night… I actually wrote this post then, and took it down because it didn’t feel right leaving it up. And now it’s back up.

I miss him, and I wonder what he’d think of my life today. I hope that my brothers and mom are hanging in there, and are spared being reminded of the milestone.

A bit of blatant shilling…

I’ve added a link to my Amazon wish-list and an Amazon search box. The former is mainly for my family although I suppose if some anonymous fan of the blog out there wants to get me a gift you’re welcome to do so. The latter, well, is there if you are going to be ordering from Amazon anyway and don’t mind my making a few cents off of it. Lastly, I’ve added a WP plug-in which should let me link to various items on Amazon for convenience or the off chance you actually want to order them and don’t mind my making a few cents.

Harmless, and in good fun I hope even if I never make any cash.
