re: Tell Me About your Dad

My dad was a lieutenant at the Sheriffs office when he passed away 2 1/2 years ago. He was a great man and father. It is very bittersweet when he appears in dreams that I have. I love talking with him again but you almost hate to wake up every time.

I always love running into people who knew him. They see me and ask if we were related (we favor each other heavily). It is always a great to hear how people looked up to him and how professional he was with his job (even from people he arrested over the years).

I was 22 whenever he passed away, just beginning my career and settling down. It angers me that we hadn't had the chance to make it to the best friend stage. It hurts that he wasn't able to attend my wedding and hurts even more that my children will never know him.
