I lost my dad over thirty years ago, but there is hardly a day that passes that I don’t think about him. Saturday would have been his 79th birthday, and I always think about him a lot on his birthday. Dad and I had a turbulent relationship in my early years. He finally, much against his will, signed for me to enter the Army at the age of 17. While it did straighten me out, it caused a lot of worry for my dad.
Dad died way too early, as we humans count time, at the young age of 48. It was in his later years that we were able to communicate and I really came to appreciate my dad for who he really was. Our time together was limited because I got out of the army in 1965 a married man. I then went into the ministry full time four years later and we moved to Pennsylvania. I never had the opportunity to know my dad as an older man. I have often wondered what he would think about computers, cell phones, the war in Iraq, my grand kids and a host of other things he never got to experience, see or hear about.
