150 miles will feel like nothing when he does pass away...trust me.

My dad passed away in November 2013 at 69 years of age. It was a bit out the blue even though he did have health issues from time to time. I miss chatting to him and having his advice on certain things. I didn't see him much in the last 4 years because I was travelling or had moved to Chile but one of my brother's was only about 150 miles away and I know he regrets not going more to see him. Proper hero to me though for the position he got our family into despite having a very modest job.
