I miss my father he was an example of what a father should be I was so blessed to be his son I love you dad till we meet again.
I just love and miss my dad, very much.
I remember Russell always , no matter what wanted to say a prayer when we were leaving from a visit. He would always say”let’s hold hands and pray” . Now looking back, it looked like we were getting ready to play “red rover”. But those “Russell prayers”meant so much to me.
When my sister and I were young, it had snowed the night before, and Grandpa took her and I on a sled through the front yard. As someone who had rarely experienced snow, let alone enough snow to sled in, it's a memory I will not forget.
