Day 16: Something You Miss

In honor of today being Father's Day, I would like to make a change to the title of this post to SOMEONE I miss.  My dad has been gone for a year and a half and I miss him- especially on days like today.  I have so many wonderful memories of my dad- of the things he taught me, mostly through his example.  He loved sports and I was never much good at them, though I wanted to be for his sake!  I remember being up early on many a Saturday morning and the two of us going to the local diner for hot chocolate and a doughnut.  I remember the lessons I learned when I did something that disappointed him- what daughter wants to disappoint her dad?  Not me! He was a humble man who served his family and community and loved my mom.   I could go on, but for now I just want to say how much I love my dad and how grateful I am for having known him.
