The thing I miss most about my Dad is the he never had to "try" to smile. He literally was always walking around with a big goofy grin on his face because he never let anything get him down. Sure he would be grumpy from time to time, but I always assumed that was because he never got any sleep due to my Mom always grinding her teeth, and then because he was always in pain. He was always in such a good mood, and I wish so badly that I had inherited that from him. He was alway smiling, or singing to himself or talking to something, anything, anyone. Kyle definitely got that from him, everything was always a joke. They both would carry themselves as if they had a secret joke, or knew something funny we didn't. I get so sad thinking about how such a happy, hopeful, smiling, caring man was taken from the world. I feel guilty because I can't on't carry on like he did. My 2013 resolution is to be more like my Father.
