Fathers Day

To my father, who always:

was kind and gentle
said nice things to me
had the love of all the neighborhood kids
provided cash and candy (he had a candy drawer and a jacked pocket with money)
told me stories
taught me about sports
wrote me letters after I left home
was kind to animals
was a great painter
put out the American flag
was there for his country (he went on 7 invasions while in the Navy)
quietly handled things
was generous, good looking, and humble
was well liked
made me feel important and loved
stood by me...

I miss you Dad. Happy Fathers Day.
