Today is my dad's 58th birthday. He celebrated by taking us all out to dinner. Dad is one of the most generous people I have ever known, besides being my mentor and the source of my self confidence. He believes in me and has always told me, "Kid, you have to see yourself there to get there."
My dad had a close call this year. Testa Dura that he was (Italian for "Hard Head") he kept his health issues a secret from us for over a month, until he finally ended up in the hospital. A couple tweaks later and my dad is a new man - or more importantly, back to being the energetic dad we know and love.
Dad, I love you, and I want you to know that I see a scene for you many years from now, sitting in a garden eating orange slices with your great grandchildren. And since I visualize it, I know that it will happen. You said.
