Happy Birthday Dad — in heaven

Today my father, Jim Coleman, would’ve been 77 years old.

He’s been gone 10 years, as of April of this year, and I still miss him very much.

I wish he could’ve met my daughters.  I wish he could’ve seen me graduate from college.  I wish I would’ve had the presence of mind to talk with him about his family and his time in the Navy, especially during the Vietnam War.

I wish, I wish.  Too late now.

Happy birthday, Daddy.
