Happy Father’s Day

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my dad, who passed away in May 2011, but I am especially mindful of my wonderful father every Father’s Day. He died two months short of his 92nd birthday, so I am grateful that we were together for so many years.

My mom and dad celebrated 66 happy years together, and I am so wonderfully blessed that my mother is still going strong at 96 years young.

David Merves, Aventura
