It is so weird, so difficult to comprehend that my father has been gone 30 years.....he is frozen in my mind at 55 with jet black hair, not a gray hair to be had nor a wrinkle that I recall. My brothers have now passed that milestone and at 51 I approach it..... I had just graduated college with my life in front of me. My mom was only 48 when he died. I thought about that a lot when I had reached 48....she was a widow. I do not know how I did not comprehend how really young she was to be a widow. the arrogance of youth, I suppose since I was only 21. I was not really close with my Dad but I always did appreciate his humor. I understand his struggles and demons a lot more now with age and I do wonder if he ever would have really liked me. Hard to say. I know he loved me as a father to a daughter but like? I guess that will never be answered. Never-the-less, I do miss you Dad. I hope you are at peace and in spite of our issues, I loved my family and having 2 older brothers and a younger sister and all my cousins and both sets of grandparents nearby, I had it all. Thank you Dad for all your hard work and supporting your family and sending us all to college. You made it look easy somehow and I know how hard it was and is......and I only have 2. God Bless. Love you Dad. Wendy
