My dad was the most persevering man I've ever known. He never gave up! He worked soooo hard to do things we take for granted. I'll never forget the lessons I learned from him... not just how to succeed in life, but how to let go of what we cherish and acceptance of what IS, eventhough we want it to be different. I treasure the memories of him before the disabilities and illness and after.
I love you, Daddio.
