I'm Coming Home Dad.

I remember riding on my Father's lap and steering the car at about the same time. I was 10 years old at the time. I was so blessed to have had the childhood my Father helped provide for me. It was really special to grow up in a town of about 950 people where everyone knew and liked my Dad. He is a very kind man and cares for the wellbeing of all, possibly to his own detriment.

I regret that I was too self-centered to have given him more love and attention as an adult. I'm going to be visiting him in Florida in a couple of weeks. I want to spend some time together, truly getting to know each other.

I love you Dad.
