[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 6/14/17

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Great story Terry!  A father can be anyone.

Just losing my mom, it is very difficult to talk or write about my father.  He was a wonderful man.  He was funny and had a unique sense of humor.  He loved to make up words for songs or sing funny verses like:  "Daisy, Daisy give my your answer due.  I'm half-crazy all for the love of you.  It won't be a stylish marriage, a horse upon a carriage, but you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."  My dad's next verse was, "Johnny, Johnny, this is my answer due.  I'm half-crazy all for the love of you.  It won't be a stylish marriage, a horse upon a carriage, but I'll be damned if I'll be crammed on a bicycle build for two."  (not sure if this is any book, but my dad taught this to me.)

My dad loved to fish.  I can remember him taking me fishing all the time.  We enjoyed this sport together.  I was with him the day he caught a 7 lb. 12 oz. Large Mouth Bass.  He was so excited!

Miss him!

I have a unique situation!  I was singlely adopted, so only had a mother and a grand mother.  I knew nothing about my father or grandfather!
When I started working in 1985, I met a man named Carlos Caban.  He tought me how to use a windows computer. Later he even became my boss!!!
He was a mentor and father to me for 32 years.  I was at his bed side on May first, when he passed.  Now a days, they have online guest books and as part of my entry, I stated that he brought me from a shi person to an independent adult. He even gave me away in my wedding!!!
What would my life have been, with out My Father???
May has been a tough month for me.

Happy Wednesday to everyone.  

 

As you know Sunday is Father's Day, so I thought we should talk about our Dads.  If your Father wasn't a big part of your life or if you have few memories talk about a Grandfather or other father figures in your life.

 

Please share a memory about this person with the group.  It can be some words of wisdom that they shared with you or something funny or poignant.

 

I look forward to reading all the memories.

 

Nella
