I've been meaning to do it for, I dunno, a couple of years maybe? Well, I gotta tell ya it was surprising problematic. Glad to say I persevered and it's done. I LOVED reading this post about your dad. The gift of a wonderful father is truly beyond measure. I admire the generation of men and women who raised us.

He was so strong physically and emotionally. Uncle Floyd took me in when I needed a home and loved me like his own. I love him so much and miss his beautiful smiling face and the way he made me feel so special when he called me 'Opsy'! Thank you for this tribute to a wonderful man. He is my hero.....

I am glad that he let you know that you had such a wonderful brain. That is a huge gift! Most of all, I am touched that you were his beloved and "sisto." I love it! <br />Big hugs, sweetie. <br />Suz<br />P.S.Your last response made me lol.

It is immeasurable, the things a good father can do for a girl and one day a woman. I think if I had had a father who had done some of these things, I would somehow feel more solid in the world. Thankfully, I had a very good grandfather, alive until just 3years ago(I am 38). He, more than anyone in the world until my husband, made me feel the most loved and accepted. <br /><br />I am so glad that you have such memories and connections to your father and that you can measure some of what wasn't right in life against some of these wonderful things. It's all a mixed bag isn't it?formerly funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915882376165190052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-34710842080808662822011-10-03T21:02:49.449-05:002011-10-03T21:02:49.449-05:00Printing!Printing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-71489700122964597482011-10-03T09:23:19.652-05:002011-10-03T09:23:19.652-05:00I am so glad to know about your Dad!
