My dad is a large part of who I am! Friends tell me I am witty. They seem to like my sarcastic humor. Traits I feel certain I picked up from my dad. Dad is all about life! So am I! Camping and the outdoors? Yea, dad certainly instilled that in me! Proud of family? I don't know how much dad had to do with that, but I am certainly as proud of mine as he was of his! Dad spent Christmas in the Hospital. Every day, his only hope was that he would go home to his dog, Molly. Not because it was Christmas, but simply because he missed his dog! But his heart just wouldn't cooperate! At 75 years old, dad's heart was only working at about 25% of what it should have been. Medicine, pacemaker, and medical procedures were no good anymore! Finally Sunday, the doctor told dad what he wanted to hear! They were letting him go home Monday! Sunday night, dad passed on! And the World moves on in spite of my dad's passing! But make no mistake about it, the world is not as bright of a place today, as it used to be. Dad, for all you did for me, I say thank you! Your wisdom, and your wit are two things I will always miss the most!
