TODAY DECEMBER 3RD WAS ONE OF THE DAYS IN MY LIFE THAT MY HEART WAS TORN INTO A MILLION PIECES. 4 YEARS AGO TODAY MY DAD (THOMAS L. HUGHES SR.) PASSED AWAY. ITS BEEN 4 YEARS. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT HE PULLED IN TO OUR DRIVEWAY HONKED HIS HORN LIKE HE ALWAYS DID.CUZ IF HE DIDNT HAVE TO GET OUT ALL THE BETTER FOR HIM. ALL OF US WOULD GO OUT BECAUSE HE WOULD WANT TO SEE EACH OF US. AND HE WOULD SOMEHOW NO WE WERE A LITTLE STRAPPED FOR MONEY AND HE WOULD SAY TO MY HUSBAND (SCOTT) WHO A MECHANIC AND SAY HEY SCOOTER IS WHAT HE CALLED HIM I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR JUST A LITTLE MINOR THING. SCOTT WOULD FIX IT. NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING FOR IT AND HE WOULD HAND HIM TWENTY TO FIFTY DOLLARS DEPENDING WHAT HE HAD ON HIM TELL HIM HE WOULD DI MORE IF HE HAD IT AND HE WOULD MAKE IF UP TO HIM LATER. THATS MY DAD VERY GIVING MAN. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND THEY ALL LOVED HIM. OH WE WERENT A PERFECT FAMILY BY FAR. BUT HE MADE SURE WE WATCHED EACH OTHERS BACKS NO MATTER WHAT. CHRISTMAS WAS MY DADS FAVORITE HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR. JUST REMEMBERING THINGS ABOUT HIM TODAY MORE THAN MOST DAYS BUT THE WAY HE WAS AT CHRISTMAS TIME WAS SO AMAZING. HE WOULD ALWAYS TELL US WE CANT DO TO MUCH FOR YOU THIS YEAR MONEY IS TIGHT. WE UNDERSTOOD WE HAVE FAMILIES OF OUR OWN NOW. SO MY PARENTS BOTH WOULD SAY MONEY OR GIFTS WE USUALLY TOOK MONEY AND COME CHRISTMAS DAY. THERE WOULD BE GIFTS ALSO. THATS JUST THE WAY MY DAD WAS. HE LOVED WATCHING HIS KIDS BE HAPPY. HE WAS THE BEST. THE LAST STORY I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IS A FUNNY ONE ALSO OF CHRISTMAS. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 35 YEARS. AND IT STARTED WITH THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TOGETHER. WE ARE OPENING GIFTS AND MY MOM HANDED ME MINE I RECEIVED 2 AWESOME ONES AS USUAL THEY ALWAYS GOT US WHAT WE ASKED FOR. THEN IT CAME TO MY HUSBAND HE GOT ONE THEN TWO THEN ANOTHER AND IT KEPT GOING I THINK HE ENDED UP WITH 6 OR 7 GIFTS I LOOKED AT HIM LIKE WOW I WASNT REALLY UPSET I JUST WAS WONDERING WHY THE SON IN LAW ENDED UP WITH MORE THAN THE DAUGHTER DID. THEY COULD SEE I WAS CONFUSED MY THIS AND MY DAD SAYS WELL HE MAINLY GOT TOOLS HIS PROFESSION IS BEING A MECHANIC AND HE NEEDS THESE THINGS WE WERE JUST TRYING TO HELP. WE SO APPRECIATED IT VERY MUCH. BUT YEAR AFTER YEAR WAS THE SAME MORE GIFTS THAN ME BUT NO MORE TOOLS. SO MY HUSBAND ALWAYS JOKED THAT THEY LOVED HIM MORE THAN ME. I AM. JUST HAPPY THEY LOVED HIM LIKE THEY DID. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ A FEW MEMORIES OF MY DAD ON THE 4TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY THAT I LOST THE WONDERFUL MAN I CALLED DAD. I LOVE YOU DAD. I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. HUG AND KISS MOM, MARK, BRYAN. AND A FEW DAYS AGO MY MOMS SISTER CLARICE PASSED AWAY. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL MY COUSINS AT THIS TIME. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A STORY ON THE COMMENTS ABOUT MY DAD THAT THEY REMEMBER SOMETHING SPECIAL OR FUNNY JUST ANYTHING TO REMEMBER HIM TODAY THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. THATS UP TO YOU ALL. AGAIN DAD LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER, CINDY......
