A few hundred years ago, the dukes of york and lancaster would have the occasional battle, and the winner would be king. [whence, "duke it out"].

There were times when I'd get busy with work, life, kids and such and my dad would be traveling, busy himself. A month would pass, maybe 6 weeks at the most. We wouldn't see each other. But its been three months since he passed. Its really hitting me.the finality of this. He isn't going to call. He isn't going to see us. He isn't coming back. He's really gone. I'm in the anger phase of grieving. This Sunday, however, we will pack up our family and go to my dad's house for our annual egg hunt and family d...
