My dad was a caring and loving father and overall person.
He made me the women I am today and I pass those qualities to my kids.
He had many things I loved and admired about him.
He taught me TO BE ME.
He was who he was.
He didn't mind if you approve or disapprove
It didn't matter if you liked or disliked
He lived his life to the fullest with the means he was given.
He once told me" don't worry about what other people think....just be you.

The other great gift he showed me is to be loving and caring
One of my fondest memories was throughout my life when he hugged me.
He would wrap his arms around me really tight and get close to my ear and whisper "I will always love you don't ever forget".
Well daddy I will always love you and I will never forget!
