There are many things that my dad wasn't. He wasn't wealthy or successful in business. He wasn't the handiest guy around or artistic or well spoken.
He was just a nice guy who devoted his life to his six kids and six grandchildren. He was always there for us and tirelessly worked to make certain there was a roof over our heads and food on the table. He loved my Mom and spent his last days in her arms.
Happy birthday, Dad. Miss you terribly.
