I Miss My Dad

My father was the only mentor I've ever had. He died prematurely at the age of 60 almost 14 years ago. Since the time he started getting sick before the age of 50 (I am now 46), he was a giant among men. He stood for all the good thing in life and tried to teach lessons from the bad. He was approachable and honest. My Dad was the best. Unfortunately he died while I was on an airplane to visit him in Florida after a massive coronary and he died while on the runway. I've always regretted not being there to hold his hand one last time and to tell him how much he meant to me. I still cannot believe he is gone after almost 14 years. I used to say I love you on a regular basis and give him a kiss on the forehead. Even up until the day before he died I called him in his hospital room and told him I loved him. He never met his now 13 year old grandson who is named for his Papa. He was highly decorated in Korea, but never spoke about it. I only wish I could be half the father to my son, that I had. I still miss him so very much. I would suggest that all read the Peom/Song by Paul Peterson from the old Donna Read show called My Dad. That says it all. Thanks for the forum to vent about my real life hero. A. Rafey
