I am bawling my eyes out. He sounds so much like my dad in spirit and personality. Well, they grew up in the 50s & 60s so that's something in common. I miss my dad every day and your post really brought him to the forefront of my mind. Hugs for you. Tissue for me.
Yes, growing up for them was a hard time. The rules and families were so different from now. He is strong and I am sure he will always stay with me. (( Hands her a special tissue box)) I am sorry I made you cry!
