Absence and Fond Hearts, Part 2........

"You can't choose your family"

It's a quote usually used in jokes about dysfunctional families. In my case it's a blessing. I could not have chosen for myself anyone better than the father I was blessed by God to have. I was told not long ago by a friend, "You remind me of your father". It's the best compliment that I could hope to receive. I only hope that someday I can be the same kind of man to my boys that he was to me. He was my hero and I greatly miss him.

I don't have any more words to say, but I'll happily read your comments if you have them and you are willing to share them.
