Now that I've had time to wind down from all the stuff I've been doing to help mom...I've had time to myself....and I wanted to write this so you would have a better idea about my dad and our relationship.
Back when I was 5 years old, my dad allowed me to ride on the gas tank of an old Harley with the side-shift gear lever. My dad bought me my own Honda Mini-Trail 50 when I was 6 years old. He patiently taught me all the controls and such of my new bike. He taught me about riding safely and having fun while riding. Later own, several years later, my dad bought me a Honda CB150 that I learned how to ride and he bought himself a Honda CL350. We both got to ride together and he taught me even more about how to ride on the highway and about how to really enjoy riding together as father and son.
Later down the road, my dad stopped riding with me because he was working 2 jobs to make "ends meet" and I kept on riding. My dad worked long and hard to provide for his family. My dad was a loving man that cared and accepted people ride where they were and as they were. He taught me how to care about people no matter how difficult the other person was to like. He was a man of integrity, a wonderful husband, friend, and daddy. He taught me so much about life in general that I only hope to be as good of a man as my dad was.
Today, I hold my Daddy in high honors. I love and miss him greatly. Cancer took him away from us but I am glad that his pain and suffering is now over. I know in my heart of hearts that I will see him again one day....when I join him and others in Heaven.
Thank you Dad for teaching me, loving me, and sharing life with me. My heart hurts because you are now gone, but I will see you again when my time comes. Thanks Daddy for waiting for me to ride my motorcycle in a rush to get there, 395 miles to allow me to tell you how great a dad you are and that I loved you.....just one more time before you left.
Thank you Dad....for leaving me such a wonderful legacy to follow and teaching me how to be a biker for others. - I love you Dad....
