He taught me
to hunt
to fish
to play ball
to cuss
to fight
to believe in me
to stand up for what is right
to smoke
to play golf
to drink
to camp
to drive
to trust
to respect
to never lie
to be responsible
to be independent
to be patriotic
to quit doing many of the bad things also
Lately he has showed me he has accepted God, he has openly admitted his mistakes and he has been humbled not only by age but by knowing, admitting and understanding his mistakes and how they affected others.
He taught me that happy and anger are our 2 best emotions, the way we handle them is up to us.
He gave me his time, his money, his belt, his piece of mind.
Most of all he gave me his love.
I know I'm fortunate that he is still alive and hope I have him for many years to come. I love ya Daddy.
