Thanks Noel. My dad went to heaven a couple of weeks ago and I never told him until that day that he was my hero. Please don't hesitate, even if he is big and macho, he's soft on the inside somewhere. My dad Stephen loved old movies and that's what i'll do today, dig up an old George Raft or Bogart gangster flik. I LOVE YOU DAD.
Sorry to hear about the passing of your father mad pole.
Good points. Had a great day Saturday. My oldest son had a baseball game in the morning. Went swimming with my wife and 2 sons and had a blast in the afternoon at a birthday party for one of my son's friends. Cooking out tonight for dinner.
Here's thanks and praise to the Heavenly Father for creating me. I love being alive. Here's some good lyrics from Mike and the Mechanics in regards to making sure to let your father know how much he means to you.
"I wasn't there that morning When my Father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years"
Thanks, I know the song well. I forever will relate the Foo Fighters "Hero" to my dad. I just wish I would have told him in the living years. I am really amazed how much my kids. nieces and nephews remind me of my parents. As the Shirley Temple movie, "Bluebird" reminds me that our loved ones live on in us and our kids and I am so grateful for that. Enjoy the cookout!
carl -- the poem--beautiful! It has been so many years since my Dad passed (39) and Mom (14) and yet I find myself thinking more often of them than I did in prior years. I know why--I have a 9 month old granddaughter living with me who looks very much like Mom!!
That is one of my favorite songs...thanks for the reminder.
Mad pole,
My sympathy to you and your family.
I just got back from a seven day visit with my 79 year old father, we went to the beach. He is not in good health, but he did great. Time is short for all of us we must make the most of every precious moment together.
Mad Pole, I lost my dad a couple of weeks ago too, It is something I didn't think I would have to deal with for a long time, but I didn't get to say goodbye, it tears me to pieces every day. Thanks Noel for the post, I thank God I still have my mom..
I'm sorry, it is hard to believe that they are gone yet I believe GOD is enjoying the company. Your mom is blessed to have you there for her. My dad would say, pick up your pack and move on soldier. The pack is heavy dad and the sand is soft and I want to be with you and someday we will but I want to go back and sit on your lap and...., and..., aye aye sir!
I
can only stand in awe of the love between this man and his son, but I
can understand since I am the father and a widower who has a son with
cerebal palsey and that kid is my best buds.
Seriously go read the post and then look at the video link.
To all the dads, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers out there, here's a brief video that you all deserve.

Sittin' back bloggin' and watching Tiger Woods make his run on another.
Here's a question. Do I root for Tiger out of White Guilt? Should I bare my soul to Al Sharpton?
Thank you for sharing that.
