Hope and a wish



Happy birthday Dad, Today I spent my whole day at home watching football, wishing I could watch the Bucs live with you.  Remembering those days when we watch the Bucs game and after the game was over you would fall asleep in the chair, snoring away.  I would have to get the grill going and then wake you up so you could cook the steaks.  Those were special days. I never sat back and thought what it would be like to lose you.  How can you when everything is going so well? Then life hits, and it just makes you wonder and think I could have treated ya better. I know I could have. You hear it all the time, and I heard it from you many times, "One day i'm not going to be here to help you son." Those words never sank in until now. I do know you raised me so well and gave me so much, in hope that I might do the same when its my turn.  Well dad, I will remember and I will try to be as patient with this little one as you were with me. And I will make sure that he/she knows that you hoped and wish for this day to be for a very long time........
