Most of us realize, at some point, that we're going to outlive our parents. But when that actually happens, it hits like a ton of freight trains. I thank God every day that I got to have almost 50 years with my Dad, because I know so many other people who didn't get that long with theirs. What can I say about my Dad? I knew he always had my back, no matter what stupid idea I came up with (except putting a firebird decal on the Maverick -- that was his idea. Hey, sometimes when the guy who keeps your car running for "free" wants to put a firebird decal on your car, you let him do it because he's keeping your car running for "free"...) I secretly never forgave him for telling me he didn't want me to grow up and be a mechanic like him, because I wanted to change the name of the shop to Remington and Daughter's Auto Clinic, but I guess if I had followed in his footsteps instead of becoming a nurse, I wouldn't have been able to help him and my Mom as much as I did the last few years as dementia slowly stole him away from us. I have way too memories to post here, but if anyone is actually reading this, I wanted to leave a note to say that I am going to miss my Dad for the rest of my life. He was the Best Dad Ever.
