I know what you are talkin’ about!
My mother left my father when I was 18 months old because he beat her up to prove his manhood!
I was raised by my mother who did the best she could.
When I grew old enough to start meeting young females, I met my father-in-law....Staunch union Dem, WWII vet, Hard working family man, and extremely pro gun.
To this day, my wife and I wonder how he would feel knowing what the Democrat Party has turned into!
We know the answer, but are really glad that he passed away in time to miss all of this....
WOW - what an awesome post.
I do believe my FIL and your FIL would both have the same reaction.
I envy you having known you FIL, I never got to meet coolbreeze’s dad. I really wish I had.
It sounds like they were cut from the same cloth.
