What a beautiful way to remember your dad and a life cut far too short. It makes me want to go give each of my kids a hug right now; they're sleeping, though, so I won't.
I think all of us parents strive to have as great of an impact on our children as your parents have had on you. Once again you've left us with a very uplifting story. Thank you very much for sharing.
I suppose we rarely spend much time thinking about life without parents, although for me it was a constant thought. He was sick his whole life and knew he would not have a full term. I didn't though, not until I was a little older; dad was just sick. As soon as I came to understand life, my life with him, seemed to get instantly deeper, more important and the moments more valuable.
I hope you said something nice and hugged those lads of yours when they woke up.

Every day. Even to the one who refuses to show emotion.
You're a good man, I feel it. There are so few left.
