Pdswife said it best: do you guys know how lucky you are?
Some great stuff here, very touching...
I don't have many good memories of my father, but I always try and look at the bright side of things, so here goes:
His favorite thing to make for himself was a butter and onion sandwich, said it never failed to clear his sinus' right up!
For the family the things I loved the most were: Beer brats and steaks on the grill, his chili, and his navy bean soup with ham hock. His chili was always served spooned over corn bread and topped with additional onions and cheese. Sour cream was a no no so we never had it. The Navy Bean soup we spooned over buttered bread, which somehow worked well
. And lastly, but definitely not least, were the products of our hunting and fishing: Deer, rabbit, pheasant, quail, and always plenty of pan fish my favorite being the Walleye we would go up to Canada and fish for.
He died in 04 in a car crash, took me two years to find out where he was buried and what caused the crash.. I don't miss him.
Sorry.
