I spent Thursday night and Friday at my mom & dad's place, so my dad could help me work on my daughter's car. We spent most of the day under the front end, getting covered in dirt, grease and grime. We fixed what we needed to, and it probably saved me $300+ by doing it ourselves! We tinkered with his motorcycle some too, and just really enjoyed spending the day together, doing all that "guy stuff." As I headed for home that evening, I realized I needed to do one more thing. I called him on the cell phone, and told him how much I loved and appreciated him, and thanked him for everything. He replied, "I love you too, son, thanks for coming down." Unlike many I know, my parents are still together after all these years, still love each other, and I love them dearly. My mom is my greatest fan, and my dad is still my hero. I thank God for them both. I hope I never fail to tell them, for however many more years they have here.
