HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!

My parents will be married 62 years on December 26, 2006. During those 62 years, my sister and I have never witnessed an argument between them. I'm certain things were not always perfect, but it was always "not in front of the children".

My father.... is a father who still cares about and continues to worry about his children. When he visited a few years ago, he looked at the tires on my car and said... "you need new tires." I didn't think I needed new tires, but dad thought so. He took my car, had new tires installed, paid for them and brought the car home to me.

As a young adult, my grandmother (his mother) died. While I was devastated by her death, having spent all my summers visiting her in Canada, my father remained calm. I remember hearing my father telling my mother, "I'll mourn for my mother after my children have mourned. Right now, I need to be here for my children."

That's the kind of dad he was, that's that kind of dad he is.....
