Hey Guys,

Don't know if my daddy was ever on this (he wasn't great with technology),

unfortunately he suddenly died two weeks ago from a fatal heart attack, but he

was very proud to have BPES and always told me and my brother to embrace it, as

we all should. I don't know if it was because of the BPES connection, but he had

lost the sight in one eye and had cataracts (unsure of the spelling) removed.

Just thought I'd let you's know about him, I know it doesn't have much

relevance, but I think the fact that he was so proud of who he was, was an

inspiration, his exact words were :

" remember, you are beautiful, never feel like you should have to change for

anyone else, let it be their own problem, so be yourself, because i didn't raise

a stranger "

Thats what he said the night before my operation, so I thought I would let you

guys think about those words, because I don't think I could've said it better

myself, and I hope to put up pictures of him maybe when I get the chance

sometime.

Thanks for reading this & #9829;
