My earliest memory, could not have been more than 5 years old..Daddy and I were in the backyayd. He was swinging me in the swingset while having a conversation with a neighbor over the fence.When I would stop swinging, I would say Daddy Daddy come swing me.My memory was of how patient and loving he was that day. I knew he was so very special and how very lucky I was to be his daughter.I am so blessed to have been able to share this memory with him.
