That’s beautiful,I love your reflections of Daddy.

I must say that I did feel sadness on today I I seemed to miss him more than ever.

Gone but never forgotten.😢❤️

What a beautiful tribute to your dad, Karen. Life certainly wasn't boring when you grew up. God speed. ❤️❤️

What a beautiful reflection, even if it wasn't the most beautiful father-daughter relationship. Father's Day was hard for me for the first time because of my dad's current condition but I'm grateful to have gotten through it.

This essay went in a (welcomed) different direction then I expected based on the first few paragraphs. A sweet tribute to an original, live-is-own-way, determined man.

For me it was my mother. I did not mourn her loss. I mourned what might have been.
