I Love you Dad

Last week I wrote about my mom passing away 26 years ago on January 15, 2000. Today it’s my dad’s day. 20 years ago God called him home to be with mom on January 20, 2006.

I always say I’m the son my dad never had, I would always be with him helping in the garage, around the yard or garden.

After the surprised arrival of my baby sister when I was 10, I became the middle child. That’s the one that rules are made for! But I still say I was dad’s favorite daughter. LOL How I remember the freezing trips we made to Saratoga Lake in the below zero weather to go ice fishing. I never figured why he parked at one side of the lake and we had to walk all the way to the other side after we got our bait. But we were together and that’s all that mattered.

My mom and dad were together for almost 57 years when my mom passed away and for the next six years dad was lost, he loved and missed her so much. I know mom was so excited to have him back in her arms this day 20 years ago.

My dad was born on a leap year so he only had a birthday every 4 years but this year he would have been 110 years old. I miss you and love you dad but I know you and mom are together again and watching over us.
