Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is not currently doing any hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. The function was called too early (before the plugins_loaded action) to determine the plugin source. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

We can both share mine if you’d like! I asked him – he’s cool with it.

I lost my Dad so many years ago now that all I can do is imagine what he would have thought of me as a fully grown woman instead of the f’d up college student I was. Treasure your time with your father.

Loved this tribute to your father … when I wasn’t laughing, I was “awww”-ing. He seems like such a fun guy–like father, like son. Thanks for sharing him with us. 🙂

P.S. Can I join your band? I play a mean tambourine AND cow bell … simultaneously. I know, I know, you’re impressed.

My mother does the same thing with the phones! You are a good son. My father always said that he was never a good ‘kid dad’ and he was right. I really don’t remember him being around and that’s fine. He’s been a wonderful ‘adult dad’ and until recently he was my go-to guy for any life situation. Now the tables have turned and in his second adolescence I’m the one he comes to for advice. Just more proof of what a good ‘adult dad’ he was!

It reminds me of my dad! We share a lot of commonalities, but he always had trouble connecting with me on some levels… Probably because I’m a girl. Either way, we got close through my childhood by doing things together — he taught me about cars, I educated him about ballet moves and drug him to choir concerts. Now he’s taken up running so he can do a road race with me, and I’m learning how to swing a golf club, just because I know it makes him happy.

On a more serious note, I’ve learned how great a man my father is, especially recently. Upon my getting ill I have never seen someone step up so quickly with every intention not only to fight alongside his daughter, but to become educated about every nook and cranny of this illness.

Dads are quite awesome, it’s so awesome to see such an amazing relationship between the two of you.
PS- you look a lot like your father ;P

But now and then some children are just bad eggs. I’ve seen this once or twice over my 40+ years. The real acid test is if you have 2 or more children and NONE of them give much of a toss about you, I reckon. I must admit though, when I hear a story of a child abandoning a parent, I always wonder what the parent did to deserve that…

Anyway, yes you are very fortunate, both of you, and your post made me smile 🙂

It’s so sweet how he wants to be close to you. Your post reminds me of when my dad took up oil painting when I was 12 so we could paint together.
