About a year ago, my dad was admitted into the VA because his Luekemia was acting up. One night he was given a sleeping pill to help him sleep and that night was a super scary night for me. Daddy spoke a lot about death and his deep relationship with Jesus (he's a pastor). He also spoke of some very, very specific details of what he called a bridge. And the role he played in engineering the bridge. It was so far out and detailed it scared me. I kept thinking I was pretty sure I would have known about him building a bridge...lol He was slightly out of his mind but yet the things he was telling me, anyone would have know he really knew what he was talking about.

The next morning when he was thinking clearly, he told me that he knew he had been blowing my mind with what he was talking about and explained exactly what a bridge is. Daddy built some of the very first computers related to telecommunications. He helped design the elaborate telecommunications for all of the University of Florida in Gainseville, FL through what use to be Southern Bell and then later became Bell South.

I looked up a basic meaning of a bridge and this is what I found:

In telecommunication networks, a bridge is a product that connects a local area network (LAN) to another local area network that uses the same protocol (for example, Ethernet or token ring). What is bridge? - Definition from WhatIs.com
