Loved reading the story about you and your father. Your dad sounds similar to mine--hardworking, fun loving, dedicated to family but had a tough childhood though not as extreme as what your dad experienced. I've read several of your other engaging posts and don't know if I missed it or you don't ever say but I am left wondering what your day job is. You did mention that you have an interest in architecture and writing so I am wondering if it is something along those lines. Sorry to be so snoop.
