Happy Birthday, Daddy

Today is my Father's birthday. He would have been 68. I miss him , and I am always sad for my Mom on Daddy's birthday. I will always imagine him downstairs at his work bench, making something for us kids out of whatever supplies he had on hand. He was always careful to put his own "patent" on whatever he made. He was creative like that, and admired and encouraged creativity in his kids. The 4 of us were in band or chorus or both, and that man never missed a concert. He even came to the concerts I did when I was in band in college.

Yep, I miss him.....
