"One thing that I am most pleased with is that I never once took my Dad for granted, that I had, at the very least, the wisdom to know that I was not going to have him for ever and I appreciated having been fortunate to have had such a great mentor, role model and Father. "

What more do you need to say than that??? I think if a person recoginzes that early on in their life, they have achieved something very very special. Very Well Said.
I learned when I was 18 and in the Army on the other side of the Earth, just how special my family truly is, and I have never taken them for granted since then. For that, I am truly blessed.
Thanks for the great Topic.
