Overworking himself, smoking and diabetes cost him several years of his life, and he didn’t get to see his grandchildren grow up much either.

I was born in the 50’s. My dad and mom divorced not long after and he took custody of we 3 girls. He was a wonderful dad.

He taught us to work on our cars, mow the grass, work in the field and most importantly to believe we could do anything. 5 minutes a day?

Hardly! I grew up in the May All Your Christmases Bea White Sweat Shirt . My dad spent zero time with me or my sisters, he only spent a little bit more with my brothers. Fathers, for the most part, didn’t have much to do with raising children. He died over 10 years ago and i mostly miss him for my mom. She misses him a lot.
