My Father died when I was 7yrs young, I learned a lot from my Mother about him, I think she did him proud.

My dad (1914-2001) taught by example. He had a sign in the "shop", where minor repairs and tire changes were made to the semis, "Put it back where you found it", and tools, etc. were always exactly where they belonged. He kept the 8 acre truck yard spotless and pavement pristine.
From my dad, I learned that your word needs to be more reliable than a signed contract.
AND, most important, I learned that EVERY day IS a good day; it's just that some are better than others.

Unfortunately my father passed away 30+ years ago, he had an incredible green thumb, he could get anything to grow, i wished i took more noticed at how he accomplished this, all i can grow is weeds. The other thing is if i want to know something about our ancestors i have no one to ask anymore, i really miss him ---- Happy Father's day, Dad.

In the words of my mom--or Mum to you in the UK. "You are your father all over again' So, I guess he taught me everything that he was making me him. I think that's a good thing, he was a great person.

I grew up without a dad from when I was very young, as there was a divorce. I did have a mom who did an excellent job with both roles. She taught us more than most of my friends learned from their dads! I can fix and build almost anything, I know that I can do most of what I would pay others to do, if I do my research and give it a try! These traits I learned from a mom who brought up 6 kids alone!
