    My dad is 86 and slowing down....a lot. And worst of all.... I'm almost ashamed to admit this....but he's become......gulp.....a Raider fan.....😞😞😞

    There! I said it! Out loud! In a Charger forum.....

    Yes, I do feel the anguish but he's my dad and I love him.

    Hold your loved ones close🤙🏽
    Bless you and dad. less you too, Nutty.

    Dad can do anything he wants. I wish my dad was around to be a Raider fan ... he turned off the Chargers when they moved but he became unaffiliated so no awkward Raider situation, but I wouldn't have cared. he's been gone 7 years now and I'd gladly watch a fucking Raider game to be with him.

He made it to the end of the season but died shortly after we lost to the Patriots in the playoffs. I still hate the fucking Patriots.

    Hope there's no pain and everything is as peaceful as possible
    Thanks Jamrock.

    He was not doing well yesterday. He slept most of the time I was there. When he was awake, his communication was mostly incoherent. The infection he had has moved into his bones... they will try to treat that with antibiotics. This next week will probably determine whether he lives or passes on. Thanks to everyone for your support and concern. Like you, I wish for him peace.

    Oh yeah... fuck the Patriots.

    I'll be visiting him in the hospital today. Probably watch the Chargers/Rams together. Maybe that's not the best way to boost his spirits. LOL!
    He took me to my first NFL game back in 1975... Chargers vs the Rams. The day I became a Chargers' fan.

    Case in point, sending you positivity and good mojo. I hope that you spend more memorable and loving time together in however long fate has mapped out this journey for both of youse.
    Good on you!
