RIP Dad, can't believe it's already been 8 years. Great guy, wish he was still around to see his great-grandson. But I'm sure you and Mom are watching with joy from above.
I lost my dad 41 years ago and still miss him. When I got married, my wife understood that Saturdays were "Dad Day". I would spend every Saturday with him. We might paint the garage, we might go fishing, or we might just sit under the apple trees in the back yard, drink beer and watch the garden grow. I'm glad I spent that time with him. I was only 25 when he died.
@DennisinMH : I would of loved to been around my dad later in life. I do know how you feel though. Nothing like sitting down and talking with your dad and mom.
