My Father and I

My father always told me,their are two things in this world you cannot buy is a mother and a father.Although I've always understood the words and what they meant.The problem was I didn't care.It was always about me and, still, in many ways it still is. I'm 44 years old now and about 8 years ago me and my dad had breakfast one Sunday morning.We enjoyed are time together so much that day that we decided to make it a ritual.I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that the ritual contiues 'till this day.Let me tell you it's been a rough 8 years for many of my friends and family.Two good friends of mine lost their father in this time frame.I also had a friend lose his mother.My sisters husbands father is on his way out with advanced pancreatic cancer and,my own father battled non hodgekins lymphonic cancer.
My father is one of the strongest minded persons I know and eased threw the chemo with grace and style.Never once complaing about anything.My father always putting a positive spin on the most negative of situations.Well folks he beat the monster with a knockout punch in the third roundto claim victory
My father who is almost 75yrs of age and CANCER FREE.These are the times when it's not about me anymore.These are the times that I cherish and I'm so grateful that the internet has provided me the means in which I can now put my father and mother on digital video for all too see and for me to have 'till the day I perish.I hope you enjoy my father as I have had the honour of for the past 44 years.He certainly is in a class of his own
I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH DADDY
Your son The King
