Parents are not for leaning upon.

Happy Father’s Day, Fathers!

“Parents are not for leaning upon, but rather exist to make leaning unnecessary.”—Wayne Dyer

Letter written on June 9, 2002.

Hi Dad,

It’s been a very long six years since you have been gone. I love you dad and I miss you so very much. I just want you to know I think of you every day. You are a great father. You not only left a financial legacy for your children and grand children but more important you left a moral and human compass for us to live by. Your work ethic, your strength of character, your sense of humor, your selflessness, your loving commitment to your family are only a few examples of the qualities you lived by. I miss the opportunity to talk with you, to learn from you, to soak up your wisdom and your gentle and loving spirit. I’m happy you are with mom and I’m looking forward to the day when we can be together again.

Thanks dad, I love you and god bless.

Your number two son and namesake,
