Happy Father's Day

Recommended Posts

I usually try to stay away from the 'mushy' topics, but Father's Day and Veteran's Day are the two dates each year that my heart settles firmly on him!  He was my hero and a great role model, friend, and mentor.  Of course also a great dad! ;)

Happy day to ALL dads!!!!

Awesome pictures Stanley. My dads brothers served but he couldn't because they were already in and he was the youngest.

Miss you, dad.

Been 39 months since we spread his ashes in 34A where we spent much time chasing the grey ghost.

Heres one of Dad and I fishing for Wahoo in chi chi jima Japan in 1963. he was stationed there for a few years. dad passed away in 2010.(20+ years in Navy)

one thing My Father always did was make sure when he went hunting, Fishing, camping scouting etc  was to ask if I wanted to go no matter how many times I disappointed him or I was mad at him for this or that. Loved him for that and did the same thing with all 3 of my kids.

Delw,

As parents we do our best to pay it forward and out of love we do our darnest to be protector, provider and role model.  As a kid growing up in the 50's life was pretty idyllic, guess I took it for granted and probably disappointed my dad more than once. We can't change the past.
