He was my father, for there was no father around, for me even though he didn’t have to. It is sad that I’m not on the list, but it’s understandable. He had life difficulties, but was often joval. Took me in, when needed. At least He got to see my daughter once and talk to my son once on the phone. So far my son and I have gone to his plaque one time and he had a “Sweet little talk” about how he he missed out on even meeting him. Despite his life difficulties, he was the best father I would have ever hoped for. I went though horrible situations in life, I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I wish I had the courage to tell him everything, but at the end of his life it would have been heartbreaking and nothing he could have prevented nor fixed. At the end of his life, I talked endlessly with aboutpositive things. I expected nothing monetary after his death, but wished I had one of his drawings to cherish. He will always be in my heart.
