| Daddy has been dead now almost half of my life but in so many ways, he's still as real in my memories as he was in my life. He lived large and saw that we all did, too, but better than that, made me feel so important, gifted me with the idea I could do anything I wanted. My sister and brother also say he was their biggest fan. He believed in each of his kids and would go the last mile to make us happy. I still miss him and every Father's Day still remember those treasure hunts we used to send him on to find his Father's Day presents from us and still have the pictures we took of him searching in all those odd places. We laughed a lot in our house. I miss you, Daddy. Happy Father's Day.

| My father was a wonderful provider for his family. He was honest to a fault, and instilled in us an unshakable resolution that your Name was the most valuable thing you had in your possession, that your value and worth as a human being was based on your integrity and sense of ethics, and you NEVER compromised your integrity or ethics for anything or for any reason. When he learned he had lung cancer, he began to write and record...he wanted his guidance and thoughts and philosphy on all areas of life, recorded and documented for us, as a guide into our future when he would not be there to advise and guide us. He never played with us as children....I can count on one hand, the five interactions my father had with me that were just fun, father - daughter things, and not a detailed outline or discussion or lecture on some life lesson or principal he was determined to instill in us to make us productive, valuable, honorable citizens of this country....he taught us to research and question and get evidenced based, proven results from any research or theory or hypothesis we were trying to understand. He was a sheer genius, and never forgot anything he ever learned in school....I remember having a complicated question that involved chemistry and physics and metabolic balance when I worked in DeBakeys Fondren Intensive Care Unit at Methodist...none of the surgeons and not even the anesthesiologist could answer the question, and they were getting frustrated with my insistance we needed to explore this idea as a possible way to resolve an issue we were facing with a patient. I got on the phone and called my father in Algeria where he was working, and he gave me the answer to my question, and then gave me the formula to prove the answer he had arrived at.....I will never forget that, and needless to say, he made a name for himself in that unit, with those docs, after that phone call! I am my fathers daughter, I am every bit as stubborn as he was, and once I have irrefutable proof that I am right, I will never be moved from that position. I will beat a principle to death.....and will not back up if I am right! My father and I were two immovable forces that, when we ran head long into each other, we argued and debated and fought with unrelenting conviction......he always won, but he won because he took the time to actually PROVE to me beyond any doubt, why his approach was correct and mine was flawed or outright wrong! I loved my father, and owe everything I think, do, or say, to him. I am sorry for the long report on my father...but I could not just say he didnt fool with us as kids and we fought like cats and dogs! "You have to be able to look in the mirror and say honestly, you have done no other living human being harm, especially in order to benefit your self in any way." Words I live by. I love you daddy...... Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 06-16-2013 at 11:21 AM. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | This is fathers day For many of us, our memories are to say the least a mixed blessing. I do miss him. And wish him well in heaven with Mom.

| Yes, I am missing my Dad. I sure hope all who have their Dad's with them will treasure each and every day. I always had fun just showing up at Mom and Dad's and the look on their faces with such huge smiles!

| I agree Lynzy I am so thankful for the memories. My second Fathers Day without my Dad He was an amazing Father and he was the rock in our family. He always made me feel better when I was worried about something. He had so many good life quotes and they often enter my head when I need them the most. One of my favorite was 90- 10 90% of what you worry about never happens 10% you can't do anything about....He always use to tell me not to waste my time worrying. I tend to be a worry wart Gosh I miss that man I sure could use one of his big hugs today.... I am asking Jesus to give all those Dads that are missed a big hug today. This was a picture of my Dad

Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | Thank you lynzy Today has many sad memories for me it has been very difficult. It was four years today that Jack fell causing brain injury forever changing our lives, two years ago today he was in hospital undergoing surgery having plates put in His wrist and arm from the second fall. Last year my Dear Papa was laid to rest on this date. I had to take hold and stop and think to be greatful in remembering all the wonderful memories, blessed to have had Papa and the many years of God Blessing Jack and our lives together, and now the blessing of my being able to continue to care for him at home, I pray this will always be till God calls him home. Thank those continuing to lift us up in your prayers. I will forever remember and so greatful to Connie being there for me by phone four years ago, she helped me to keep from falling apart, I love you Connie. I want to wish all Dads a blessed Fathers Day, and to those without theirs the blessing of wonderful memories. Love and Hugs, Patti and Jack |

| What a lovely thread. I'm missing my dad today too, and would give anything to just hug him one more time and tell him how much I love him. Just one more time to tell him how I value all the things he taught me and the values he passed on to me that make me who I am today. I know he looks over me and is proud of me and I hope he sees what a big part he played in me becoming someone we can both be proud of. I love you Dad, now and forever.
