Bitter Sweet Day


Today is the anniversary
of Rick's dad's birthday.
He was the dad that raised
Rick and his brother Steve as his own.
He was the man they called Dad.
He was tough, gruff, lovable,
Honored and Respected.

Richard loved home town parades.
Every year he'd attend the Veteran's
Day parade in Shasta Lake City
after enjoying a community
pancake breakfast at the fire hall.
We used to go find him along the
parade route, and enjoy our morning
together as we watched the
military units, horses, cars,
bands, children and dogs go by.
~
So, that's what we are going to
today. Go have breakfast,
watch the parade,
wave our flag,
and miss him with all
our hearts.
