ShakespeareTeacher for my Father
I haven’t blogged much about my father because, well, it’s not really that kind of blog. But we lost him to cancer about a year and a half ago. He was 60 years old.
I think he would have enjoyed this blog. He was the type of person who was interested in engaging in many different topics, whether they were in his area or not. I guess I inherited that from him. He’d have loved this blog. And even if he didn’t, he’d have read it anyway, because it was my blog and he was proud of me.
He would have left comments, too, I’m sure, and they would have made us see things in ways we hadn’t before. He could do that. He would have signed his comments Larry instead of Dad because he wouldn’t have wanted to embarrass me. But then I’d respond and call him Dad so everyone would see what a clever father I had.
Happy Birthday, Dad. We still miss you terribly.

Happy Birthday to your deservedly beloved father. Again, though I only met him once, he continues to make an impression on my thoughts and heart. I’m sure he would have loved your blog and I’m sure he could only be but proud of one of his greatest accomplishments in life – the gift of his son. You (and yer kewl blog) are a great blessing. Or – I like how my friend David says, you are “not what’s wrong with the world.” And neither was your Dad. best wishes and remembrances to you and your family….

Uncle Larry was the absolute best and I think of him often. I missed him at the uff ruff last Friday and I’ll miss him even more next week in Punta Cana.

And he would have loved this blog, like the rest of the Hellers do!
