Miss you, Dad.

Today is my father's birthday. He would be 76 if he were still with us.

My father was a Harely riding, retired Marine who was tough on the outside but all mushy on the inside. He was a single father during the 1970s when men didn't get full custody of their children. He always put us first. I could go one forever about how wonderful my Dad was...

Tonight I'll make his favorite dinner and set a place for him. I hope he likes it.
