All are still around except one, my biological father, Tommy. It is to him I memorialize on this Fathers Day weekend my short life journey with him. Death came too quick and I lost out. So here's my perspective of what I thought about dad as I grew up.
When I was...
4 yrs old, my dad can do anything;
5yrs old, my dad knows a lot;
6 yrs old, my dad is smarter than your dad;
8 yrs old, my dad doesn't exactly know everything;
10 yrs old, back in the day when my dad grew up things were different;
12 yrs old, dad doesn't know anything about that;
14 yrs old, dad wants to teach me what? I don't want to know how to do that;
16 yrs old, I'll never be like dad
19 yrs old, I'm getting married and I want dad to be my best man;
25 yrs old, dad knows more about it than what I thought;
28 yrs old, I think I'll ask dad about this;
35 yrs old, we all have our faults and desired re-dos, dad is really a better man than I ever thought;
37 yrs old, the older I get the closer I become to my dad;
38 yrs old, three weeks at the beach with my family, dad and mom...one of the best summers ever. Dad's really cool;
38 yrs old, I lost my dad;
45 yrs old, I wonder how dad would have handled this?;
50 yrs old, I wish dad could see his great-grandchildren;
51 yrs old, I'd give anything now if dad were here now so that I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart his was. I could have learned a lot. Those things I did learn will be forever with me and passed down to my daughters.
