By the way, I completely agree with your perspective on various “days.” I call them canned holidays. An opportunity to guilt people into buying things because of expectations imposed from the promoters. I generally try to ignore them, but writing something like this is genuine and comes from the heart. :) No commercialism involved. ;)
What an incredible tribute to your dad. He sounds like a very good man, and father to you. I really like the picture. :)
I lived in Wisconsin for 7 years. Two as a young child, and five as a young adult. Waukesha for six of those years and Twin Lakes for the last year.

Thank you for writing this today. It hits quite deeply.
Reading your description of your dad put a smile on my face. I miss my dad, he fought the good fight and taught us by example.
I dare say it shows my Canadian Brother.
