FATHERS' DAY

My dad has been gone for over 30 years.  But I can remember a lot about him.  For example, his pride in this big fish he brought back from a successful trip to Canada.


Spending most of his life in North Dakota, he had plenty of experience with a snow shovel.


Late in his life, he began spending the winters in Arizona.  He had his own home, a house trailer he bought in a court not far from us.  But in his mind he was never far from his longtime home.


This is the way I like to remember him.  Smiling, enjoying a good joke.


Yes, even after all these years, I miss him.

Happy father's day, Dad.  You done good!
