AFTER
MY
father
passed
away
in
2006
,
we
went
through
his
things
.
He
was
always
so
full
of
life
and
his

spoke
of
his
adventures

I
found
photos
of
him
as
a
young
man
playing

,
taken
on

home

or
a
piece
of
candy
,
and
he'd
present
them
with
a

building
a
bit
of
drama
.
His
delivery
was
more
fun
than
whatever
he
had
for
us
.
That's
what
that

photo
brought
to
my
mind
.
My
dad
had
also
saved
a

There

regarding
his
