Christmas

Notice I didn't say merry, well thats because we lost Dad to his battle with cancer on Thurday the 20th. Now Christmas to me was never a religious time for religion has never done anything for me, but my family has. That's what this time of the year is about for me. Dads battle was long, hard and valiant,as with most things in life. A little before he died he got to go flying which was one his greater joys. He even got to see a WWII  German ME 109, he was thrilled. As a man who loved to build and fix things. Thats what I'll miss the most. Showing him something that I built or telling how I fixed something. Maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. First Mom, then Pat, now Dad, it seems that the list is growing. Give a man fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man fish, feed him for life. Went fishing yesterday, didn't catch anything. Need to lose some weight anyway. Miss you Dad.
