My Dad

What to say about my Dad. Words cannot describe my feelings for my Dad. I will try to express my feelings as best as possible. My Dad was funny, loved maps, honest, valiant, a fighter, a friend, loved to joke, loved history, loved racing and cars, loved to go on drives,
loved airplanes, but most of all he loved his family.

My Dad is my hero. We have had to watch my sweet Dad for the past 11 years struggle with his health. He was a fighter. He worried so much at the end that we would be mad that he had chosen the path we had. No way, we love my Dad so much and we didn't want him to hurt anymore. He definitely did not choose the easy way out, he fought hard right up until his last breath.

I cannot even describe my feelings today. I feel privileged and blessed to call him my Dad. He has taught me so much about life. He would do anything for you and never judged. He was honest in his daily life, always. He did love to swear. I am going to miss my Dad's smile, our phone calls, lunches, his laugh, and how he would call me sweetheart. I love you Dad and I already miss you so much it hurts.
