91裸聊视频淒addy, let91裸聊视频檚 play hockey.91裸聊视频�

It was January in Cornwall, Ontario91裸聊视频攖oo far below freezing to play hockey outside.

91裸聊视频淥kay, let91裸聊视频檚 get moving,91裸聊视频� Daddy said.

91裸聊视频淲here91裸聊视频檙e we going to play?91裸聊视频� we two boys chimed.

91裸聊视频淗ere in the kitchen, with a tennis ball.91裸聊视频�

Nothing was too much work for my Father. He cleared the floor and we played hockey on the linoleum.

91裸聊视频淒addy, you play goal.91裸聊视频�

He played goal, we hit him everywhere with that ball91裸聊视频� no pads in those days. I91裸聊视频檒l bet he was sore that night and black and blue everywhere.

In summer he played horsey, we rode him until he dropped. In fall the crimson leaves of the maple trees were piled high then, all three of us, jumped into them from the porch. He was one of us, until we stepped out of line, then he was a taskmaster. It had to be done correctly or we had to do it again. When we said, we didn91裸聊视频檛 have time to do it correctly then, he91裸聊视频檇 ask, 91裸聊视频淚f you don91裸聊视频檛 have time to do it correctly now, when will you have time to do it again?91裸聊视频�

I never thought much about that statement until I heard my son say, 91裸聊视频淏ut Daddy, I don91裸聊视频檛 have time to do it right.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淵es, Pop.91裸聊视频�

He always let me have the car whenever I asked and I received the same reminder each time. When I came down for breakfast in the morning he asked. 91裸聊视频淗ow was the dance last night, son?91裸聊视频�

He watched me head towards the door. I turned and looked back at him. His eyes were sad91裸聊视频� a tear slid down his cheek.

I returned to his bedside, put my arms around him and said, for the first time in my life, 91裸聊视频淒ad, I love you.91裸聊视频�

This would be the last time I91裸聊视频檇 have an opportunity to say, 91裸聊视频淚 love you91裸聊视频� to my Father91裸聊视频� he had a heart attack at two the next afternoon, went into a comma and was gone at four.

Never be afraid to say I love you.
