For me Father's Day is bittersweet since my dad, Dave, passed away. However, it's a wonderful time remember all the fun times we shared.
Dave was a great dad--fun and caring. He tried being tough but I knew he was a softie. He always got a kick out me running into the house and beating the dogs to the couch. The couch was my favorite spot to hang out with the family and sleep.
I'm very proud of my dad. Bet you didn't know he was responsible for designing the free-range enclosures for the chimps. Mom and Dad gave up a portion of the ranch to do this. When Dave first designed these enclosures in 1983, it was considered revolutionary and his enclosure design was followed by many sanctuaries. Pretty cool! What is one of the things that make you proud of your dad--besides everything? Let me know.
