I loved reading this. =) I have so many amazing memories with Grandpa... I also played with his hair, except that he had a special toothbrush he kept in a baggie with my name on it, to brush his hair. The very first day of my visit to Grandma and Grandpa's we would go do three things. 1) Go to the grocery store and pick out a box of sugary cereal (the only time I was allowed to have it). I normally picked lucky charms. 2) Grab a bag of bread and go feed the seagulls. 3) Go to the candy store down by the water and buy salt water taffy. I really enjoyed reading this, Aunt Julie. =) Thanks. Ah… I loved reading this.

You give words to all of us who were raised by men who were half sinner, half saint. We all still look for their praise in the work that we do, the choices we make, the man (or woman) we have become. As we age, we hopefully find reason to forgive those times they failed us. We discover that reason in our own desperate and often failed attempts to be the parent our own children need and deserve. Doc was often tough on me but he loved me too. Steve White #34 Thank you for this loving tribute to your father. You give words to all of us who were raised by men who were half sinner, half saint.
