Not A Good Day
-
My father passed away yesterday morning, around 6am. He battled the ugly devil that is cancer for a little over a year. He held on for quite a long time considering the only treatment he was eligible for was one 6-week round of radiation. Aside from that, there was no treatment. Just a year ago he was up and walking around and laughing with us all, and over the past couple of months he was mostly bed ridden, and now he's left this life. I just wanted to say something here, even though I'm not as active as I'd like to be here. I'm not much of a familiar face, but I've been around CP for a long time. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and cherish your life and the lives of those you care about, every day.

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

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. :rose: Feel free to drop me a line if you need. :rose:

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.

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. Marc

:rose: 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.

Sad to hear. My father walked into the hospital laughing and joking and died of congestive heart failure 7 days later. Be strong in this very rough time.

And I you. :rose: 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: 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. Marc

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.
