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

[Henry Osborne]

Good Morning Cindy Z, I am still laughing at your Dads song.
Did the fish stay on the hook, or was that one of those "Ones that got away" 
fish tails?

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.

Terry P.

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
