He always told me to follow my heart, and I did.  I moved back to Ohio where my family originated.  Went to the places that he took me as a kid.  The memories are so much stronger here for me, because this is where my life started with the most wonderful father anyone could ask for.  He always wiped my tears, held me when I was hurting and put band aids on the booboos.  For many years he was a father and a mother to both my self and my brother. He never gave up on his children.  He always told me to follow my heart and I could never go wrong.   I did just that!
