He sounds like a good man. My own father is still alive and well. He spent yesterday at the racetrack. My mom had gotten him (and her) tickets for his birthday in January to see the races in person on Father's Day. A nice treat for him. He lives too far for me to visit for a short weekend and so I made do with a phone call and also had sent him a gift by mail. Such a beautiful tribute to your father, Ingrid.

It sounds like he left quite a legacy in you - I think it's a real gift when we can appreciate those aspects in ourselves that were given to us by a parent.

I, too, lost my Dad a little over 4 years ago, and I miss him so very much. He was so positive, affectionate, and taught me a love for life. His last few years were very difficult as he had pulmonary fibrosis, and really suffered. It was so hard to watch. I'm glad you knew your dad loved you -- no matter how difficult the relationship, the hole they leave when their physical presence leaves is big. Thanks for honoring fathers in your post today, Ingrid. A love of nature is a wonderful gift from your dad, Ingrid.
