My Dad Eaten My Eyes
My dad was an avid drinker, his favorite being a bottle of bourbon. Through him, I gained insight into who he really was; he had many opinions about things but none about himself.
He had plenty of stories to tell and had no qualms about sharing them with others.
He was also a good sport when it came to letting me help him clean up the kitchen. He was an excellent cook, if not the best.
He was also a wonderful dad; an example of living by the Golden Rule: Be kind to your children.
Finally, he was also generous with his time and gave me things I needed in order for success in life.
He was an excellent friend and great to hang out with.
He also had the most intellectual mind I’ve ever known – a gifted storyteller and even better listener when discussing his parents’ business ventures.
