thanks for the sympathies and saying kaddish for my dad.
everyone, do me a favor, it would make my xmas a little better if you gave your dad a hug and told him how much you love him, even if you're on bad terms. the love for your dad should be unconditional and if he treats you lousy, you should love him, anyway.
and your mom, too.
and everyone else.
except for newtype.
