Her dad was an older father. Never wore jeans or tennis shoes. Educated, and old school. Played the banjo, loved politics. Stayed inside and read books all day.

I'm not like that. I'm outside as much as possible. But, he and I are very similar. Even in shorts I dress neatly. Work in the yard with my shirt tucked in (or off in summer). Love politics and he and I both have/had a good sense of humor. Even though we were from diff sides of the debate, we talked politics constantly. They loved it when I went and visited him in the nursing home. We would talk politics from years gone by. The rest of his family hated politics.

The only thing she has said that she wished I did like him was play an instrument. Thing is, he quit playing when he quit drinking. Most people have said he and I were a lot alike. Most thought I was the son due to hair color.

Should I go on?
