My dad was the apple of my eye (I was and remained his little girl) and there wasn't a time in my life where I doubted the love of my pop. I remember him picking me up to dance with me to the music on his stereo. I remember ......
He was the All American citizen and he retired from the US NAVY in 1969 after serving 22 years. He was an avid golfer who had three hole in ones in his lifetime. He was the family man and the handyman around the house. Did I tell you that he tried real estate school for two weeks? He said..nope, not for me.... totally different language. He was proud of me, though.
My dad died of lung cancer on February 25, 2004. Five years of missing my dad.
The last thing he told me was, "Sal, no matter what..your life has to go on".
My husband and I quit smoking on January 13, 2007.
