He went to work, came home, ate dinner, and watched TV. He and I were not exactly close and I do regret that as he became closer to my youngest sister born 13 years after me.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-89798754592377351552021-06-21T07:52:30.266-07:002021-06-21T07:52:30.266-07:00My dad was 94--car crash, as you know.

My dad has been gone a long time. I seem to think of him more often the older I get. Maybe that’s because I am more aware now how I should have listened to his wisdom a little more closely than I did in those young years. We do have some history in common … at one time I lived not too far from Carswell. The thing I miss about that part of the country … the friendly people and the BBQ! :-) Have a happy week ahead.

They made an attractive couple. You and I share several things in common, I know I've said this before but it always impresses me. (My dad also passed at 62, I was around the same age as you when he died in 2000, there was 6 of us with the first 3 kids being raised pretty differently.) I just wish I had more of the happier memories you had of your Dad. He sounded like quite the guy.ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-91929712705338992792021-06-20T15:31:28.716-07:002021-06-20T15:31:28.716-07:00Happy Father's Day.

I did like you and spent today inside my heart and with my many memories of my own hero. <br />Dad wasn't in the service but we traveled a lot due to my Mom's illness. He kept trying to find a place she could breathe as she had severe asthma. I kind of liked the gypsy life.

I feel the same. <br /><br />My dad was the typical Englishman - even though he came to the U.S. with his family when he was 13. Guess most of your beliefs and ways are set by the time you're a teen and Grandpa and Grandma Regan were born and raised in London. But Dad loved it here. Met my mom in New Orleans and spent the rest of his life there raising us 3 kids. We weren't rich, but we weren't poor either. Never thought much about it. Dad was the manager of an Architectural Stone Company and occasionally we would drive around the little towns checking on the stone work in churches and buildings. We had lots of family around - dad's 2 brothers and 1 sister and mom's 2 sisters and one brother. So although our family didn't party much, we had lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins around. Now... us cousins are the ones remaining... and we do keep in touch. Growing up together created close bonds.<br /><br />OK, DJan, I hadn't planned to write all this, but you did succeed in my recalling memories of my dad and our family.<br /> Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-89523201919071407422021-06-20T10:41:40.557-07:002021-06-20T10:41:40.557-07:00Thank you for sharing these precious memories and ...Thank you for sharing these precious memories and thoughts.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-79569239002105970872021-06-20T08:05:14.284-07:002021-06-20T08:05:14.284-07:00Wonderful memories of your family, especially your...Wonderful memories of your family, especially your dad.
