Reblogged from Avant-Garde In My Backyard:
16 years ago on Father's day I neglected to call my Dad and wish him well. I was 17, still in high school and lived at home with my mom, my Dad lived in another town.
Later I found out that he waited all day for me to call him and when I didn't he was very hurt and went to his favorite bar to drink his troubles away.
Tribute to Joey from last Father's Day...
He seems so wonderful! You look a lot like him. And I can tell from the picture that you must’ve made him very happy.
He was a cool dad.
It sounds like the time that he was here with you, he made the most of, and for that you are very blessed! He was lucky to have such a great girl too!
We did have a lot of fun together. He was pretty awesome.
