makes me think of my father in law. His birthday some years fell on Thanksgiving, and the year he passed was a few days after Thanksgiving. He was such a good man, good father, husband and father in law. He treated me like a daughter, I remember telling him how much I loved him a few days before he died. He was a gruff man but would give anyone the shirt off his back. I remember Troy telling me about how his father had accidentally hit a man with his car and the man died. I never heard him talk about it but I’m sure he never forgot it. He was so thrilled with Ashley, she would crawl across the floor and he would talk to her. Sadly, he died when she was so young she doesn’t remember him. He would be proud of her just like I know Troy would be. She’s grown into a kind person. She’s a hard worker, Troy devoted so much time to his family. He would be sad to know how some have turned on me but that’s ok. I just forgive and move on. We both devoted our lives to working and raising our children and its good to know that at least one of them is thankful. Troy was a very hard worker devoted to his family. He always put them first. Happy Heavenly Birthday John. I’ll never forget you……
