8 years ago today my dad passed away. I miss him for lots of reasons, but especially when I think about him not knowing my boys.
(Dad, about age 4)
Dad loved a good joke and I like to think he taught my boys a thing or two before they were sent to our family. I shared one such story here.
Rusty is showing a Dad-ism now. He has a great love for John Wayne. Yep. 20 months old and when he wants the tv turned on, it isn’t for Elmo or Barney … Rusty wants McLintock.
Dad was an avid John Wayne watcher. Rooster Cogburn being one of his favorites.
Today while playing a game with my family, Rusty came up and started whacking me (a sure sign that he wants something). He proceeded to say, “tee, tee.” Understanding Rusty-talk, I knew he wanted the tv on and I was not wrong. I turned on some John Wayne and Rusty settled down to enjoy him a few minutes of cowboy time. Dad would be so proud.
