MC,

Wonderful topic to start in view of Fathers day this Sunday.

My dad was a polish immigrant. He believed in hard work and sacrificed for his family, we always came first. He believed in the golden rule and always lived by it and tried to teach his children to live by it(altho we were little brats).
He was taught the trade of tailoring in Poland and was a darn good one. He made all of our winter coats every winter with pride and made sure they were very warm to keep the people he loved warm as we walked everywhere in those days. (did not have a car).

I remember him spoon feeding my aunt (who lived with us) on her death bed until she took her last breath. then he broke down and cried like a baby without shame.

He was one of the most wonderful men I have ever known, and I honor him with this rememberence today. Love you so much dad, you will forever remain in my heart. :'(
