An "Early" Wish for a GREAT Father's Day...........Sunday

   I can still remember the day we went out and you took off  my training wheels on my lil bike told me to go slowly and carefully.......I did listen and then thought I knew it all lol as per usual

NOT so I ended up banging into the back end of a very BIG car ( parked) and split my lip ,,,,

              HAVE the scar still on my lip adds character.......lol

    Taking me down at 4am to Lake Erie when smelts were running with a collander ( strainer) with a handle on it about same age and I loved it so much

Starting my yearning and love for Fishing way back then

You and I falling into the drink with our clothing on and the bills *money* you had in pocket out hanging on clothesline....Mom not to impressed....at all lol

    Taking me horse back riding and buying a horse which I know broke your heart and all us kids when By Law officer said  to horses in City lol

        BUT you tried

  NO matter what you did with us and especially with me was my most wonderful times in my youth

THEN

I got to getting older and thinking i was wiser ( ya ok) and boys became a new thing for me

I know this hurt you as I became far away from fishing softball and horses to be a girly girl and you never said anything YET I could see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice 

Meeting Rick.......He became your BEST friend and you trusted him with my life ........you both celabrated ST.Paddy's Day together for many yrs

The most painful memory I have is when I had to tell you Rick had died in a car accident 15 min away from all of us and we didnt know till hours later.......You stopped drinking the NEXT day and have not had one since March 18th 1979.......I am so and still proud of you for that ..STOPPING cold Turkey as did I ..I went to AA you did not 

Being the father you were all thru my life gave me the room to grow ........zest for learning all I could get my hands on and being trusted by you helped me to grow into a woman ....mother,,,,,,,,,Grandmother........

I know Mom played her part very well too but today is YOUR day to be recognized

I LOVE and MISS the Dad that use to be here with me BUT I know you miss him too

I will try to help you all I can for as long as I can and I do it for love not for any other reason

I had my love from you a ( step) FATHER that could not have been more precious and valued by me

 WE have a great thing between us and yes even with the Alzheimer's we still have our LOVING communication going on when no one else " Gets you" I DO

                  THANKS DADDY FOR ALL you did and continue to DO

Anyman can be a dad it takes a SPECIAL man to be a FATHER 

PROUD and ETERNALLY grateful to be Blessed with you and you guidance love support and honesty.......YOU are the best .....

Coming soon to make you a " Special Dinner" and bring you some presents 

Love YOU Dad................Your daughter Forever and a Day........LYN
