Thank you for your kind words, Samantha. I really do appreciate it. The comparison you make of me with my father is a humbling experience to me. Those are big shoes to fill. But it really means a lot to hear that. The biggest dream I always had was if I can only be like my dad...so yes, your words go deeper than what you might think... Thank you.
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. It really leaves a big hole when something like that happens indeed. My Mom also passed in 2014.
We had my Dad for those extra years...enjoy your Dad while you still have him with you. Still having him around must be special. Treasure every moment!
Thank you once again for your sincere comment. I really do appreciate it.
