Thanks to all of you who emailed and commented about my dad. I am so very happy that he is ok. Mr. Independent that he is admitted to me that he had not been home in a few days because he took a little road trip. I scolded him -- just as any loving daughter would do -- and I told him he could have just called me to let me know his plans!!! His reasoning was that he was only in Pueblo (which is a little over an hour from where he lives). He stayed a few days there, had some doctor appointments there and did a little Christmas shopping. I said "Ok. But you could have let me know that so I wouldn't worry about you." He gave me his standard response.... "I don't need you worrying about me. You have a family of your own now to take care of." I gave him a big fat "Soooooo!"
Apparently, the officer also scolded him for not having his cell phone on and he told me "I don't make that many calls." I told him that a cell phone isn't just for making out-going calls... it is also for us to get a hold of him! He said he would start turning his phone on when he was out and about somewhere.
So, thanks again for all your cares and concerns about him!

I know what you mean. We have yet to convince my Dad to even get a cell phone. He swears he doesn't need one or for us to worry. How can we not?
My response to my mom when she tells me the same thing about having a family of my own to worry about - "You ARE my family, therefore I'm entitled to worry about you!"
