I received a similar call from my mom.
Tonight, I will raise my glass to both men. Then, a second glass for you.
Always remember the good times!!

Earlier this year, I digitized my dad's "Celebration of life". It was recorded on VHS back in 1997. I was so glad it was recorded. I was completely numb during the celebration - I basically remembered nothing. This time, I was able to fully listen to the stories and laugh at the jokes.
The pain never fully goes away ... but it does get a lot better.
Unknown to me ... before my mom and dad had kids, my dad's drink of choice was tequila. I can only ever remember him drinking the occasional beer and the even less occasional Rum and Coke.
But ... I think a dark bourbon will be better for the occasion.... and maybe a nice sipping tequila to finish.
I do like a nice tequila, a proper one nad not the gutrot kind.
That sounds like a great idea. I get you on the numb thing, I barely remember a thing about the day of the funeral except that everything seemed bleak and empty.
I am seeing my brother tomorrow, Iam sure we will laugh about some mad shit from back in the day
Don Julio 1942 is my absolute favourite ... But the price makes sure that I only drink one on special occasions.
... and yes, the wooden box that it came in looks like a coffin. Which, in my case, gives it a little more credence that it's the right drink to toast my dad.
I've never seen that before!! I think I will try to source some. I love that box!
And I just realized .... If you look in the background of the pic, you will see the VHS player that I needed to borrow in order to do the digitizing.
Hehe, I havent seen one of them in a good long while!
I have one of "those" friends who has all the old gadgets. Beta player (check), Laserdisk (check), Turntable (check - before they became popular again), Palm Pilot (Check). Remote Control that you need a PhD just to read the 300 page manual (check)
It's always fun to ask him if he has something. Then watch him process through his mental inventory. Not to determine if he has one ... but to determine where it might be.
Ha!!I knew someone with a laserdisc player once, it seemed like the most ridiculous of faff to play something on it!!
My mate likes all the gadgets, he keypad the boxes and has a ridiculous number of things boxed and just sitting there
