TODAY IS MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY, HE WAS THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD. THAT IS HOW I LOOKED AT HIM WHEN I WAS A CHILD, ACTUALLY I STILL REMEMBER HIM THAT WAY. DAD PASSED AWAY 26 YEARS AGO. I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF HIM AND MY MOM, SHE IN HER APRON, AND DAD WITH HIS BAGGY PANTS.
MY DAD HAD A LOT OF PATIENCE, HE WAS A FIREMAN IN THE CITY OF NEWARK, NJ, FIRE HOUSE 5. HE WOULD DRIVE THE HUGE HOOK AND LADDERS, AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTER'S AND I WOULD HEAR THE SIREN AND RUN TO SEE HIM, HE WOULD BE SITTING THERE WITH THE FIRE HOUSE DOG BESIDE HIM.
WE WOULD WAVE AND WAVE, WE WERE SO PROUD OF HIM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD.

Thankyou for sharing your beautiful memories of your father. I hope my kids look up to me the same way as you did to your father.

Great memories, Aunt Riz. I remember Pop-Pop as so big and strong, and he could do anything he set his mind to. He built a great house and loved his horses and ponies and dogs. And his gardens.
