I have sat and thought about what to say about my father for a couple years now. Looking back he was and still is a great person. I'm sure though the years we were trying to figure each other out. I was a handful and he was always a straight forward answer type of man and told you how it was with out the sugar and I can respect a person that is willing to share lesson and the things they learned though this journey of life. We had a lot of laughs and a few tears throughout are time together but I can say no matter what happened in his life he handled like a champ and when he had it rough he always got back on the saddle and was willing to play another hand. I always said I didn't think I would be like he was but as time goes by and situation happen I realize I handle them a lot like he did. I learned a lot from him and wish we would have had more time to swap stories and learn more about why he was the way he was. As I get older I realize how time flys and you don't get it back but to use what you learned from a person is always with you. I'm proud of you and hope you know ,that's whyI I'm a lot like you. I love you dad and we will have or time together one day. Till then take care and keep on sharing those story's and laughs.
