He was my Dad for 65 years. We never had an angry word with one another. We may not always agree but respected our differences. He loved Ft. Worth. When you was moving to Martin Crest Assisted Living he held back some of his usual enthusiasm so I asked why, he said it's silly. Let's be silly. Tell me what you're thinking. I don't want to leave Ft. Worth, Martin is in Weatherford, we laughed. He was happy there. He was always a phone call away. Sad Father's Day this year, but I'm glad he's standing tall and hearing all the sounds. My Love, Debbie
