My Dad

This is me with my mom and dad.
My dad was a career army man. He passed away at 41 years of age of what the government called a service-connected disability. I never did understand why they classified it as that because he had cancer of the thymus. A few years ago my brother explained that he probably got the cancer from the Agent Orange that the U.S. used in Vietnam where my dad did two tours.

Your dad was a very nice looking man. So young when he passed. I am sure you still miss him. My dad has been gone 28 years and I still miss him very much! Love the picture of you with your parents!!
