Some of the best memories I have are going with my dad on Saturdays or Sundays to Dudy Noble Field in Starkville for baseball games. Even after going to baseball games at Ole Miss as a fan and student all these years, I think I've still been to more games at Dudy Noble than Ole Miss.

Mine is a great farmer and was an elite pee wee football coach. Always gets the job done while making it look easy, and had a way of making his teams think they could walk into games against bigger and more talented teams and win 42-0... And we usually did.
He's also really good with mine and my brothers girlfriends. They love him... Can't wait to one day see how he does with our kids.
He's just a good man that works hard and loves his family. I'm thankful that he showed me the same love for farming as he has. I hope I become as good of a father as him.

That's what I was hoping to hear about, mine wasn't an athletic guy, he probably was the last line of talking to the quitters. He knew what to say though.
We always had teenagers coming to our house to talk to Mom and Dad.
When he died, it was like A rock star funeral, it shut a whole fricking town down.

Mine passed away in August of this year. We weren't very close but I miss him. Hard working guy who sacrificed a lot for his kids.

I am sorry to hear about him passing, and that you weren't close.
I loved riding in the car with My Dad, with good music on the radio. Something cool on, he just looks at me and laughs, and stomps the gas.
I was just talking to my daughter a few minutes ago about this. And she says that was her favorite time with me also, just riding and listening. Made me cry a bit, had to hang up.

Mine was awesome. Taught me all about football, how to swim, and how to kick the asses of little boys. Never left my mom, despite her being a dirty whore, because he thought that it would have been had for us kids.

Cat, That's why you're such a hard arse... Wow, you are cool with me. Hope you can forgive your Mom.

My best memories of my father are me going to his work with him. He was a truck driver for a bridge company, so in the summer I used to go on jobs with him. Because of his work, we never took vacations, his summer was his busiest time at work, so going with him was a blast.
Riding in the 18 wheeler, sitting up high, looking down on cars, staying in hotels, as a 5-10 year old, that was just golden times. And spending parts of the day on construction sites. Couldn't imagine much more fun for a little boy.
I miss my dad and my mom every day. Mom has been gone 21 years, and my dad died 19 years ago.

As much as I didn't like it when I was a teenager, my dad always taught me responsibility and to work hard and the value of money. He never paid my bills, and I couldn't have what I couldn't afford on my own. I see how valuable that is today though. I'm one of the most hard working responsible person that I know around my age and am truly thankful for how I was raised.

I didn't follow in my father's work, although many days I wish I did. At least for him, when his day was over, it was over. I take my work home each day.
I have thought about going into truck driving as I get closer to retirement, cross country driving sounds really fun to me, and would bring back a lot of memories. Trucks are probably a lot more comfortable today than back then too.
One other thing about my dad, I remember him fixing breakfast on Saturday mornings, his one morning at home each week. He really was my hero.

Only a couple of times, this was in the 70's when most women were a bit more reserved. Can only imagine what a truck driver sees today from up high.

You know what? When my Dad had a day off, he loved fixing us breakfast, he loved doing that.
My daughter,sadly, isn't a breakfast person. She does love my cooking though.

I lost mine 2 years ago.
The two main lessons I learned from him was that hard work pays off, and that no matter how bad things are for you, there is always someone worse off, and the feeling you get from helping them without drawing attention to it is a great reward.
Growing up we never had much, and he was always working 2-3 jobs to give the family what was needed. He worked until he was 70.
When he died, he left mom and us kids more than we ever imagined he ever had, along with a note saying he did everything for us. How he hid it all over the years is a mystery, but we'd have all probably grown up worse human beings if we had known we weren't poor.

Awesome thing huh? He was right to do it that way probably.

My dad gave me more in life than seems possible, he grew up the son of a sharecropper and made his own way in the world. We were never rich but i never wanted for anything, didn't get everything I wanted but never didn't have anything I needed. He also never gave up on me even when I was a tpos criminal and addict, he didn't talk to me for a lot of years but he was there for me in the tough times.

A Father's Love I think there might be a song about that 
I have expected more cool stories though, hopefully after all the games are done.

my dad is a cranky old fart.
but a very good man. as i shared in the "dark secrets" thread, after my next door neighbor hit my mom with a car and put her in a coma, i heard him time after time tell injury lawyer after injury lawyer to go pound sand. and when my mom came back as a different woman, he put up with her and loved her despite a very difficult circumstance.
he did a lot of things that involved character, but that stood out the most, and it didn't occur to me till i was in my late 20's.
he's not fun, he's not pleasant, he's not sociable but he's a darn good man, and i respect the heck out of him.
