Today is the 25th Anniversary

Dad died 25 years ago today.

Dad would have been 81 today

I was just thinking today how my Dad was one of the good guys. That is, he never seemed to do anything from a position of malice or revenge or bitterness. Maybe I am romanticizing, but I certainly hope to live up to that ideal. I distinctly remember him telling me to "always tell the truth" but as a young man, I didn't always do that. Anyway, I celebrate my dad's 81st birthday by pledging to tell the truth from here on out.
