When I was young I loved the beach.  Once I fell and my dad, responsible as he was, rushed me to the county doctor.  The doctor said you are going to be ok just hold my hand.  And I said dad you saved me thank you.  You keep being good to your parents. That’s my story.

another story is we went to fire island my dad and I and my dolls shoe dropped in the water.  He said careful watch your step.  I panicked and the shoe was gone forever.  I said at least my daddy is here.  Then my mom showed up and I said my mommy is here to all ok.  Even my sister came home that night

To my father my friend.  Much due respect to the man that taught me from infancy.  The days were brighter when you were here and the world was a better place with your company.  To my warm father whose friendship meant a lifetime…
