I haven't spoken to my father in two years. Long story. He's done with me - refuses gifts. He is an active alcoholic. He was hospitalized a couple of months ago with a blood clot (according to my uncle). I'm trying to do the right thing while protecting myself and my family. I have sent him a card with get well wishes. This could open a nasty can of worms. I think it's the right thing to do even though it may fall on deaf ears.

I had the same experience. My dad wrote me off about 20 years ago, despite my repeated attempts to connect. (we never were close) He died a couple of months ago. I say go for it. It could make all the difference in the world. Best wishes.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
