So thankful for you
Hi, Pop
I miss you so much already. I knew I wouldn't have you around forever but, ugh, not to have you gone this soon. So much we wanted to do with you all when you came down in November and for many years to come.
But I am so thankful that I had you as a father. You taught me so much growing up and even still after I had grown up (well, maybe I really still haven't!) I am a much better person today for having had you as a father and role model. I don't have your patience but I like to think I have your kindess and generosity. You worked hard to give us kids a better life and opportunities to chase our dreams. I think I was destined to follow your footsteps into the computer world and have about reached my dream job and I'm glad you got to know that. I hope I made you proud because you sure made me proud to have you as my Dad.
You taught me how to drive. How to ride a motorcycle. How to water ski. The joys of camping. Basic car and home repair. How to mix mortar and spread it out and position bricks. How to frame up 2x4s so they were perfectly perpendicular. How to use the shortwave radio. How to spread Miracle Whip to the edges of the bread! Oh...so many things Dads do for and with their kids.
Soooo much I am going to miss. That devious little grin you'd have when you were about to level the boom on someone next to you playing Uno or Skip-bo. The way you'd tickle my hand whenever we shook hands. The phone calls about some little computer problem you had that I would help you with over the phone when the miles separated us. Talking about Cards' games during and after the games. The email jokes you'd forward. Walking down to the pool at one of the condos and seeing all those umbrellas in their usual spot. I'll never have any of that ever again with you and that makes me feel like my heart is literally going to break inside me. But I will always have all of those memories and so many more.
Miss you Pop. Save us some chairs and we'll always save one for you with some pretzels and Big Red.
