Remembering

Today would be my Dad's 83rd birthday but he has been gone now for 5 years, which is hard for me to believe. I wish to thank our Good and Merciful God that he gave me such a wonderful Dad. He called me 'punkin' and taught me how to keep my car maintained. Whenever we traveled we always sang folk songs together as a family. He took us camping and fishing and water skiing and to work with him in his welding shop. In later years, he watched the weather channel with the sound muted and we had wonderful discussions about books we were reading and history in general. I miss him!
