The last one was 2002. I was on my way to Vegas for the week. I didn't have a cell phone then and had to rely on pay phones. The feeling I had was that my Dad had been in a car accident. I kept calling him, but got no answer. My sister had my room # so she could call me if something happened.

When I returned home from Vegas I saw my Dad and he was ok. I was relieved to say the least.

The day after I returned he was killed in a car crash.
