DAY 4: Thankful for my Dad

I am so thankful for the years I had with my dad! 48 years! My dad was kind to everyone. He had the best laugh and loved cartoons. He loved his wife, pets, maple nut ice cream, cookies and coffee, puttering outside, going for rides and traveling, pancakes, homemade bread with beans and ham, putacrub, and his family. Not a lover of chicken, anyone that would hurt an animal, losing his ability to do things for himself. When he had to face obstacles he did it with strength and courage and a sense of humor. He had to give up smoking, drinking, and both legs. If we want to truly honor and remember him we would learn from him his patience, his ability to figure things out, his strength and faith that everything will work out, his courage to do what needs to be done, his love for his family, and his ability to laugh at almost any situation. I will always miss him and love him and work on being the best of him.
