I know it has been a while, I have had the rest of my schooling to get through, nothing big or exciting though.  Today however marks a special anniversary for everyone, the Fourth of July, but also marks one for my family as well, as it was four years today that my Father passed away.  He was only 61 years old, and he died of a heart attack.  He was an Army Vet, a Son, Father, Uncle, Grandfather, and so many more things that most do not realize.

One of his challenges in life that he did not fully accept was that he had a form of Autism, that was never diagnosed.  He most likely had As burgers and because of it, many people did not understand him.  However he did accomplish many things in his life, like getting married, raising a family, and providing for them, with a lot of the challenges that people like us face.  For me, he is an example of what we can achieve if we have faith in our abilities.  Love you Dad, I miss you.
