I was offered flowers, framed pictures, photo boards, etc. The only thing I wanted was the framed 8 x 10 picture of my dad's red pickup truck with a fully lit Christmas tree in the back. Yes my dad was THAT guy. He was just happy, funny, and wanted to make others smile and laugh. After the services were done and my downstairs neighbor was up here she saw the picture of the Christmas tree in the red truck and said "I've seen that!" I laughed and told her that was my dad. Anyway the cheapo frame that whoever put it in disintegrated last weekend and cut my thumb to the point where I was like a blood donor so I had to order a new one. I figured this one fits. He was the kindest, funniest, and happiest guy ever.

Sounds like the kind of person we need more of! I'm sure you miss him.

I can understand how you feel for your dad. I had such a dad too. This picture was surely worth some blood. Lick it!

I think my Dad and yours were cut from the same cloth. Mine loved to make people laugh, too. I am so glad you have good memories of him, I know you miss him very much.
