A special 60th birthday wish

On November 2, 1950, 60 years ago, the man I miss more with each passing day was born. Happy 60th birthday to my Dad.

It has been seventeen years since he left us and many days it seems like yesterday. I still can't believe he is gone and has missed so many milestones in our lives. We will never understand why his heart quit working on May 24, 1993 or why God took him when he was only 42 years old.

I have a hero sitting on my shoulders every morning when I wake up and that is comforting, but the thought of never seeing him again is terrifying.


This picture was taken a month before his heart stopped. Easter, 1993

His last Christmas with us, December 1992
This is one of my favorite pictures.
