We buried my wife’s grandfather, Leon, coming up on 2 years ago. I still think of him every day and miss him dearly. It’s tough. He was the same age as your dad and from a great generation of man. I enjoyed spending time with him, a lot of times it was just to listen to his old stories…Stories similar to what you shared from above.
Thanks for sharing, for a moment, I felt like I was sitting here on the farm with Leon listening to one last story.
Your dad sounded like an amazing man. Sorry for your loss.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
