As some of you may know, my dad is currently on life support and things don't look too good for him. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to take a break from trooping so I can focus on my family and try to make this painful transition a little easier. While I do hope to do a few events (starlight would be a good example) I'm gonna be out of the game for awhile.
Please keep my family in your prayers, and I look forward to trooping with all of you very soon.
Thanks,
Billy Soto

Exactly what Tony said, Billy. Gotta do what you gotta do, we all understand that.

So... the doctors dont think he is gonna wake up, but if he does he definitely wont be able to work.... That sorta makes me the "man of the house"
Seeing as I consider all of you guys family, I ask that you all just pray for our financial stability.
My father is alive, now we are just waiting for a miracle...
Thanks for the support everyone.

It's never easy either way. 4 years ago, my grandfather, who was like my father and practically raised me, had a major stroke while running on the treadmill. He was in wicked shape and could run circles around most people half his age (he was 81). Anyway, he was unresponsive and on life support for a week when we took him off of support since he had a DNR (do no revive). He had always been very firm that if something happens, HE DID NOT want to live as a vegetable and to just let him go. He was completely independent and never relied on anyone so to have to spoon feed him would have created a living hell for him. As much as we wanted to keep him around, we knew that it was only for selfish reasons and not for him. Anyway, he was moved back home and placed in a hospice setting where he would dwindle away for another two weeks w/o food or water... it was truly the worst thing I have ever had to experience in my life. He would open his eyes periodically and even though he couldn't speak, you could see it in his eyes that he was saying it was okay and to not worry..... on his death bed and still taking care of us! What a man!
Sorry for the hijack... just letting you know I've been there.

No worries... It made me feel much better actually...
That's the same as my dad... I can tell that he was looking me in the eyes... I know everything will be okay, but I know it'll be a battle getting there...
Thanks Marc.
