I can remember how he would sit on his bed playing his guitar with lulu and i singing along, sometimes he would do the singing and we just sat there listening, he had a wonderful voice.I loved when he smiled his whole face would light up and even though the "I love you" were far and few between you always felt it in your heart and in the hugs that he would share. He was quietly strong yet qentile. He would always say "ask you mother " if you wanted to do something. He would always sit at the table with the tv on to listen to the golf game and the radio for the baseball game. When lulu and i were about 6-7yoa he made a fish pond in the rocks, located on the far side of the front lawn and when he was done, the cement set , he had lulu and i put in our feet- they remain there still, i checked before we sold the house. He always wore his starw hat when mowing the lawn and he taught us to ride a bike-bought at western auto! He always called me Toppalino(?) means little mouse or "mousey" which i miss, and for lulu there was a rythem" little lulu pepsi gum, there she goes, here she comes!" I could go on for ever as the movies of our life with him are forever imprinted in my heart. we had a wonder ful childhood... a wonderful Dad. </p>marymouseMon, 13 Jul 2009 10:26:55 -0000
