I stopped hugging him like that when I was older.  I do not mean that our bond lessened over time. I love, appreciate, and miss him more with each passing day. If he was ever a part of your life, I have no doubt that you have an aching place that he once filled and I am the very strongest proof of that truth.

I have many treasured memories of my father. The only painful ones involve his loss. I expect I will always regret all of the choices that cost me time with him. He never held them against me.

I have some of his tools and some of his toys. Mainly, I have his name. I think that the name makes it appropriate for me to give this site to him.

I am blessed to be the son of this man.
