# Bad day *Entered: in emacs on Samsung Galaxy S21+* *Date: 20230604* ## The Old Man My old man died yesterday. I was told he passed in his sleep. The day prior I spoke to him for an hour and a half or so. I called him often. Usually weekly while I was traveling. He'll leave a hole in my life, and many others as well. Laid back and caring. I don't really feel like typing right now. My work schedule has been cleared and I am taking my wife and youngest daughter (the only kid still at home) down to El Paso, my sister is flying in as well. Arrangements will be made. Closure will be had. I want a few small items of his such as his dog tags from when he was in the army. It still feels very unreal.
