Well it's official. Hes gone [View all]
My dad passed away last week and today we had a service for him and said out final farewells.
He was a Democrat through and through and he passed this along to his kids. He also was partially responsible for African Americans having a garden space in our little town which was nearly lily white at the time. He and my mom were reviled by some in town and it spread to his kids as well. One motherfucker tried to run me down while I was riding my bike. He was shouting "Tell your n*** loving dad he's next". I was 12 years old at the time. He found out who did it, called the police and persevered.
See, he was a christian. Not one of these holy rollers but one who walked the walk and talked the talk.
He taught us real values. He is missed.
I'm sorry if this post is offensive or inappropriate. Maybe I should have posted this elsewhere but I just want people to know a good man. We have a bad man in charge now. So good men need to be honored and respected.
