you folks have heard so much about him and all that we have been through that I thought I should share a picture of him.....remember, though, that his COPD is eating him away and if you had seen him 6 years ago when my mom died, you would not recognize him today!! He is only 58 years old...he will be 59 in September!! He is my hero!!

You have a wonderful man to have as a hero.

So lucky you still have your dad,he has kind eyes! COPD is a B---H,esp when hes so young!

when we speak on the phone and he has to catch his breath every 3 or 4 words, it tears my heart apart!! I usually end the conversation choking on my tears!!! Everyday, I thank God that he was sent into my life and has been the "father" that most only wish they had!

I'm sure he is really proud of you too. Just remember that is something a lot of fathers and daughters never have.

Wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I can't. Enjoy him while you have him. Mines been gone for 12 years and I still miss him. Went to his youngest brothers funeral yesterday and realized I no longer have any uncles left. Guess I'm gettin' old. Sad

It’s time that I pay tribute, to the man I call my dad.
Lately I’ve been remembering, the good times and the bad.
When you came into my life, little did I know,
The effect that you would have on me, and how my love would grow.
I won’t ever forget things we’ve shared, things that we’ve been through,
Will never forget your laugh and the funny things you do.
All the time spent camping and trying to catch some fish,
And making chocolate malts, those are times I miss.
I will always remember, mom would try to hide,
When you would act goofy and wave, to strangers passing by.
Walking me down the aisle, on my special day
Was the man nearest and dearest to me, in a very special way.
Holding all my babies on the day of their birth,
These are things I’ll cherish, from your time on earth.
Your unfailing love for mom, I will never ever forget,
I’m so glad you were there with me, on the day her fate was met.
You are such a part of me, from the bottom of my heart,
When it comes to being a dad, you have done your part.
Thank you for everything, the memories that we’ve had,
You are not just my hero, I proudly call you dad.
