Its really hard to put into words
Muzzy, I think you put it into words just fine. You might not realize this either, but your dad obviously raised you to be a fine man. Your words say alotto those who will read them. Most "men" would never even think about writing their feeling and emotions down for everyone to read. I don't want to sound corny, but you've shown yourself to be a great son and a person of good character. Your dad lives on in you.
