Happy Father's Day in Heaven

Happy Father's day to Richard Bates, the best dad ever.

Gone way too soon.

With love always, from your little girl.

Check out Neil Young – Old Man http://www.last.fm/music/Neil+Young/_/Old+Man via @lastfm I always think of my father when I hear this song. We were very different people, but I miss him. I think of him because he was very stubborn and opinionated although not unkind. When I was younger it frustrated me that he didn't "get" me. I always felt like something of a failure in his eyes. Once he was older and dying, his mind too far gone for me to reach him, I felt sad that he would never get to know me.
