My father passed away 18 years ago, tomorrow.

A man who I thought was a legend. He taught me how to be tough when things were just right. He taught me how to take pride in everything I did. He taught me to tell the truth and how to handle the consequences afterwards. He taught how to treat others with respect. He wasn't a big man, but in my eyes he was a giant. I often think how he would react to what is happening in today's way of life? He most likely would say " they can't change who we are, so don't let them"! Dad, I miss you every day and I think of you often. Thank you for all you done and who you were.
