Something to Remember


So I figured this would be a good place for all of the memories. If you want to put pictures, music, whatever. Of course not everything can be put up here but just Tell everyone you know so they can at least look at it and add if they want.

I remember a conversation I had with dad when I was about 16. He was going to drive me to a soccer game in Omak and so I was up early and he made me breakfast. Eggs mixed with some type of fired pork, green onions, and garlic, over rice. I don't know what made me do it but I asked him if he had ever played soccer.  He said a little in high school and when he was younger but not much on regular teams. At that moment I realized that my dad went to high school. That he had a life before us. I asked him more questions and learned more about my dad in that half hour trip to Omak than I had ever known.  I learned about his past girlfriend Smoky, that he once wanted to be a doctor, and that he used to ice skate on a pond near his house and jump over garbage cans frozen in the ice.
