About two or three years ago my older sister took my dad on vacation to New York. My dad is starting to feel old and was convinced he was going to die making the trip from Oklahoma to New York. And with his morbid and dry since of humor he would joke about it. So, I told him that if he collapsed in the airport his dying words, pained and breathless, to my sister (the one taking him on vacation) should be "Kathleen... was... my... favorite." He thought it was hilarious and promised these would be his dying words.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. Even though it would've made for a hilarious story, I'm glad you didn't die in that airport.

I love it.

There's something about photos of older gentleman - I zone-in on their wedding bands and it warms my heart.
