Fathers Day

Posted by debbie at 4:14 PM

I miss my dad---I miss that he is not part of my childrens and grand-daughers lifes...I know he looks down from heaven and watches over all of us, I miss our little talks, him calling me "Deb"... I miss going to Kerrville and driving up and him sitting outside on the patio with Molly and drinking his tea...I miss Thanksgiving and him being so proud of his turkey and dressing...I miss Christmas and him saying "hohoho" to every person there as he passed the presents out...I miss him teasing the grandkids...being proud of his garden, his peach trees, sitting in his chair watching his tv ...
There are things I wished I had talked more to him about, the war, his heritage, his relationship with mama, how he felt when his children were born...his smile...
When we would leave, he was always on the back porch and would watch till we were out of site...
The memories of him coming home after a week trip in his Coke truck, mama always cooking a good dinner for him complete with a coconut pie...church on Sundays and usually Furrs afterwards for lunch, going to the Bakers or Renfros for tuna fish sandwiches after church on Sunday night, being so excited about an upcoming hunting trip and calling me and fibbing about a big deer he had got----going on trips in his RV---- Red Lobster----refusing to eat chinese food, calling it gook. Bringing our babies a chocolate bar cause he wanted too, taking Cam on fishing trips.
He loved his family very much...I am very proud of my dad, he had a hard life, had suffered in bad health for a long time. He endured a lot. But he never complained! I miss that smile!
Happy Fathers Day Daddy, I love you!
