I don't know where to start when it comes to my dad. He is the smartest person I know. I value his opinion more than anyone else's in the world. I can get into an argument with him and we don't stop talking til we work it out. I don't think there is anyone I can do that with. There are two things that I have to tell you about. When I was just out of school from 10th grade, my parents got a letter from school telling them I couldn't come back unless they came in to see the principal. I had been cutting school for way too many times and it had caught up with me. Well I did get into plenty of trouble and for my punishment I couldn't leave for Florida with my sister and mother. I had to drive down later with my father. I didnt' mind cuz at the time I had a boyfriend and didn't want to leave him. We left for Florida a little later and it turned out to be one of my best trips to Florida. We drove and stopped for the nights. We talked and saw so many things together. I kinda was grateful that I didn't go earlier with my mother and sister! Then the other time I really remember was when I got married. The day after we all came back to my house for a big party and when Ron and I were ready to leave he came into my bedroom and was tearing up. He said he was proud of me and would miss me. I will never forget that moment between us. Since then Ron and him are like father and son. I love you dad. Dad and me on my wedding day September 4, 1982 Graphics from: Sista Scribbles
