50 years ago today, my dad passed away and left my mom to raise my sister and I. It was one of the worst days of my life as he was the one person I spent all of my time with and learned so much from. I was just a kid when he was taken from us but I still remember everything he taught me and to this day, I try to live the values and be the man that he was and put my family and friends ahead of everything else. A year ago I started working on my Duster as a tribute build to my dad.
Mom struggled at first to fill his shoes but eventually filled the role left behind by Dad. Our bond continued to grow and I never left her side until she passed in 2001. So many years have gone by but I still think about my parents every day. If you are fortunate enough to still have your parents, make sure they know how much you love them.
This weekend I am taking my family out camping, rain or shine. It will be the first time ever camping together and I am going to make sure it is a memorable time for all. Yes, this means I won’t be working on Fred…. lol
