a memory...riding to the airport with my dad...parking the car...and sitting for hours...watching planes take off and land...

we both loved it...everything about it...especially the time spent together as we shared this...talking...laughing...telling jokes...and even silence as we would watch...

my dad was a very brilliant man...uneducated...but brilliant all the same...he should have been an astronaut...he loved everything about the space program...

he had THE BEST sense of humor!!! I'm laughing, smiling, and crying just a lil as I write this...thinking of him and how funny he was!  Dunno if you remember me telling you this Kees...but you and my dad would have SO been the best of friends!!!  

So Daddy...I'm thinking of you today...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I love you and miss you sooooooo!!!!!
