Thank You daddy for teaching me the value of time.
Time is what you make it you always said and it has to be spend wisely.But most people dont make time good.Some people are always late.This was one of Brads problem..He was always late and it got to be a big problem.You cant be always late when you work.They dont mind a late day -once or
twice..but when you are always...late..well.now for the next thing.
I want to tell everyone about a birthday that I will never forget.It was October 5th,1959 and I was 12 years old and I wanted to go to see Jackie Gleason.The show was Take Me Along with Jackie Gleason on broadway.At that time....Mr.Gleason was one of the highest paid performers on tv.Jackie in 1958 at the height of the Honeymooners was paid 5,000 a week which was like a fortune in those days because nobody made that kind of money back then.The Honeymooners was a comedy about Ralph Kramden who was a bus driver...his wife ALice and Ed Horton who was his neighbor up starts and Trixie....Trixie was a retired stripper...(thats what Jackie said later) I wanted to go to the show so bad but I was told that the they were all sold out.I was a bit angry
being 12 in 1959 wasnt as awesome as it is now.
That night daddy came home from work and he went into my room."Vader...Happy Birthday and go into your room.Your present is on the bed." Then my sainted father laughed.Money was tight in our house in 1950s...daddy and mommy brought that house.They were married for 20 years when they brought the house and after living there all my life..I am wondering why mom and dad brought it.I went into my room and on my bed was a big envelope.I opened it and guess what? The tickets fell out and it was to see Take Me Along! Daddy surprized mother and me and we were going to go on that saturday.Later I found out that daddy really saved to buy these tickets.He did not take his break nor lunch for 3 months just to get them.
They say sacfrice is part of being a parent.How many parents are willing to give up their coffee breaks and lunch break money to take a 12 year old kid to the broadway show? This was unheard of in 1959 and this will always stand out.I saw Jackie Gleason in 1959 and I will never forget it.Jackie was The Great One..but the greatest one was my father who gave up what he liked to give me a present that I have never forget.Thanks...daddy and I love you.vader.

My Daddy has been gone for 30 yrs, but I remember him like it was yesterday--I was very much a "Daddy's girl"
There was just a little something that I once wrote,...just because it is true.
My father died many years ago
And yet, when something special happens to me,
I talk to him secretly
not really knowing
whether he hears me
but it makes me feel better
to half believe it.
God Bless all our fathers this day! Judy
