Cinco de Mayo

Robin Hood · May 5, 2014

I am blessed in that I was lucky to have a good father. He wasn't perfect, but then no man is. He was a caring man, with many friends. I can honestly say I never heard a bad word about him.

I could go on. . .

Its hard to believe he has been gone 31 years today. Seems like just a few hours ago.
If your father is still living; tell him I was asking. Give him a hug.

30 Years ago for my dad. Still have a empty spot in my heart. We"re both orphans, as my mother and wife"s parents all gone. We miss them all. All the aunts and uncles also gone, and we are losing cousins frequently. But life goes on. Cherish the memories and keep the photo album going. Hopefully some willsay kind things about us down the road.

I feel for you. I lost my dad six years ago on the first of May. Seems like it was yesterday. If you've still got your folks be sure to spend some time with them.

I was blessed as well. 22nd of May dad will have been gone 15 years, 11 years for my brother in June. My brother got to meet Jay Leno at a motorcycle swap meet and got a picture with him. He was always proud of that, I don't blame him. Hard to believe its been that long. I think a part of you stops, that is why it seems like yesterday.

My brother in law fought under Patton and was captured crossing the Rhine he spent the last six months in a POW camp.
I never knew my Dad although he lived to 85 just never wanted to even though I knew where he lived.
