My Dad was Awesome. I think we were so much a like we couldnt stand it at times. I loved him more than life & I tried right till the very end to keep him here as long as I could. I have so many memories. He was a good dad. I was never short on love, hugs, & kisses. He loved my kids & he loved my husband...maybe more than me...LOL. He thought the world of his grandkids and I think they completed his life. He impacted each of their lives and gave them each memories they will have forever.
My Papa... my Mom's Dad died when I was very young. I think around 9 or 10. Amazingly I have very clear memories of him. He was always smiling & loved when we came to visit. He would always give me, my brother, & my sister 2 Nutter Butters a piece and Mountain Dew to split. He always hugged us & told us he loved us. The little things in life.
My Grandfather, my Dad's dad died when I was a young teenager, 13 I believe. Although I was older I dont have very many memories of him and the ones I do are not all that great. He was a very strick, hard working man. He was military & after he got out of the military he became a union worker. I respect his hard work, but I cant ever recall him telling me that he loved me.
Rob's Grandfather had been a part of my life as long as he has. The last 17 years I have spent building a realtionship with him. He is a strong, wise man. He is also a man full of love & kindness. He has worked hard in his life to be the man he is today and had earned the respect of many people along the way... including mine. I have learned a lot from him about love, honor, & respect. He loves his kids, his grandkids, & his great grandkids & there is nothing he wouldnt do for them.
Rob's Dad was a puzzle. I think I had just figured him out and without warning he was taken from us. He had a rough life and the path he chose to take in life was not always the right one but in the end he loved his kids & he loved his grandkids, he just took the long road. My kids all learned things from him him and they all have good memories and that is important to me.
Rob is a great Dad. He has proven a many people wrong on that note. To all the people who said that he would never amount to anything and never be a Dad... in your face. He does it all. He takes them camping, fishing, bike riding, you name it, he does it. Rob had grown up (for the most part) and he has grown in to one awesome dad. His kids respect him (that's important) and they love him. he had instilled the importance of education and the importance of hard work. He has also spoiled them all into rotten brats to, but that is besides the point. I think we did that together.
