Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

For those who don't know, my dad passed away on March 12. This is, of course, the first Father's Day without him and it follows by only one week his birthday, which was June 14. I miss him very much and will for the rest of my life.

Fathers are so very important in the lives of their children, and we should never underestimate that importance or role they play. My own father was proudest of the simple title of "Dad".

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” -- Mark Twain
