being drug by the sled all the way down the hill because you were afraid to let me go by myself
coming to watch me cheer
teaching me how to throw a football
taking me to work and letting me draw on the maps with the grease pencil
challenging me to ride the "big bike"
getting center court tickets for the Globetrotters
letting me wash the top of the truck
taking me with you on errands in that truck
not yelling when i wrecked "polly" twice or when i ran that red light while you were watching
rocking me until you thought i was asleep then carrying me to bed
sitting on the floor of my bedroom with me and convincing me not to run away from home
kissing me at my wedding
knowing that i was one of your "girls"
sharing birthday cakes
visiting your old buddies in Ky and you calling me your "baby"
when you told me your deepest and darkest moments
taking me to the hospital while i held a steak on my eye
and many, many more
happy birthday daddy, i miss you and love you

I’m sorry to leave this in your comments section, but I did not see an email.
I promise I’m not spam. I’m the Marketing Manger for Turner Publishing.
I’m going around to Roanoke bloggers and freelancers to let them know about our new book by Emily J. and John S. Salmon, the Historic Photos of Virginia. We’d love to send you a complimentary copy for possible review consideration on your blog. This title is done in a large 10x10 format and all images used are culled from archives and represent rare or never before seen photos of the state of Virginia. We’re trying to get the word out to local folks, so I hope you don’t mind me dropping you a line to let you know about our book!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best,
