For me the worst part is by the time I got to an age were I wanted to learn more about dad it became hard. Either the people had died off (grandparents on both sides) or the memories are so old that they are hard to rember. But you are right him being gone has change are lives in all kinds of ways. But, also rember that yes him being alive made have made you life better in some ways the good things you have may not be there.

I never knew my father, so my grandfather was more like my father. He passed in 94 and I never fully understood what he meant to my life until about 8 years later. It wasn't so much what he did it was the life lessons I picked up. I always wished that I could have been the person he wanted me to be. I just started to get into computers, never really into cars or the outdoors. But it was much later where I saw what he meant. It was the work ethic and just a philospohy (sp) and I still wonder if he would be proud of me... sorry for rambling, but I agree to paris, one person's life can touch us in ways that could have changed our life....we might not know why things happen now, but eventually the path we've taken becomes clear.

So often one person plays such a key role in our life, everything else seems connected. Lovely post. Interesting points.
