My whole life my dad was woken up every morning by mom giving him a kiss on the cheek and handing him a cup of coffee. Most of those mornings it was 3:30am. She filled his old Stanley Thermos with hot water to keep his coffee warmer longer. She packed him enough food for 2 or 3 people so that he could share if he wanted to. Every single day as he went out the door she would give him a big kiss and a hug, telling him to take care and come home safely. That man had a good life, and he deserved it. He was just as good to her as she was him.

Welcome. It feels good and sad at the same time to remember the way I grew up. Good that they made a wonderful life for themselves and us, and bad that it ended and I can't give my children the same.
