back home to Pennsylvania tomorrow. Whatever he said, I 
enthusiastically agreed, and we had a wonderful conversation. 

The next day my father went back into that coma, and the following day

before he passed away. A good son is a result of a good father. 
Although my father was not perfect, I learned a lot of life lessons 
from him and I'm only now beginning to appreciate all that he taught

Thinking about this I was reminded of a very special verse of Scripture.
“The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who sires 
[gives birth] a wise son will be glad in him” (Proverbs 23:24). 

My goal in life is to be a reflection of my father to my children and
grandchildren and all the people around me.
