Yesterday in the late afternoon my father died.
Besides his unconditional love I got these five things from my dad:
1. My extreme punctuality. In fact, like him, I'm usually early.
2. My looks. In the photo above we are about the same age, 46.
3. My love of classic country music. Waylon, Willie, Merle, Dolly, Loretta, etc.
4. My sense of humor. He was quite the wit. I pale in comparison.
5. My stepmother Sandi. They were extremely lucky to have each other.
His passing is a stunningly numbing loss. My heart is broken.
But I'm confident my little sister greeted him with outstretched arms.
Goodbye, Pop.
Hi Chuck, So sorry to hear that your dad passed away. It's hard to lose a parent that you love. Fate is rough! Losing Nancy to cancer was bad enough, but losing your pop to it too must suck. When I saw his picture the first thought that popped into my head was Chuck sure takes after him. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
