and how wonderful that he left behind such great memories and set such a powerful example. I have both my parents still, but I have lost my only sibling (a brother), so I understand the void of losing someone you love so very much!
Your dad would be proud of the way you remember him...and would undoubtedly be proud of you too!
Thanks for sharing!
