2008 Chicago Bound

This was the year I moved back to Chicago to take care of my Dad who was dying from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I can't tell you what a burden it was to return to my parents home to take care of my dad's final wish to die in his home, but I did and it was an honor of a lifetime. This picture was taken in 2007, at that time he was the picture of health.

Below are links to video tributes to the life of my father:
