MIDWEEK MUSINGS: BDAY WISHES DAD

After landing back in Little Rock today, my brother drove us to go visit our Dad and wish him a Happy Birthday. Had he not passed away this past December, he would have been 99 today.

Our Father, an only child, almost always got his way, stubborn as all get out, right 99% of the time which was not easy on us kids. He was a man who lived life the way he wanted and died with few regrets. 

Here's a video clip from his birthday last year. 

Dad was quite a character and softened quite a bit in his later years ...

                                            Happy 99 Dad!
