He's been gone 5 years already as of this past January but I still love him so much and miss him. Why?
1) He taught me to swim by holding my hands and singing The Blue Danube.
2) He took Fridays off in the summer when I was a kid so we could do things like go to the beach and zoo and it wouldn't be crowded like on the weekends.
3) He taught me to appreciate all kinds of music. I owe my love of Big Band music, Swing and the standards to him.
4) He could bake an awesome apple pie.
5) He filked before I even knew there was a word for it.
6) I could tell him anything and he wouldn't judge me.
7) He taught me the value of a dollar.
8) He never grew up.
9) He never lost his sense of humor.
10) He was always there when I needed him. Especially when I needed him the most.
noodling,
daddy,
good stuff
