I know it's a little early, but I'm meeting my dad for dinner, so I thought I'd start a Father's Day thread. It's open forum, post what you want: thoughts, stories, memories, whatever.
Things I learned from my dad:
Best memory with my dad:
December 5, 2002: The day I gave my dad a kidney.
Saddest memory with my dad:
September 24, 2009: The day I lost my son. My dad reached his arm around me and just held me as I cried.
Things I learned from my dad:
- How to swing a hammer.
- How to cut a board.
- How to set priorities.
- How to give a good hand shake.
- How to tie a tie.
- How to change a flat tire.
- How to look a man in the eye, give my word, and keep it.
