What gives her any idea? However, you do act strangely. I – I’m not criticizing, understand that! I know your ambitions do not lie in the warehouse, that like everybody in the whole wide world – you’ve had to – make sacrifices, but – Tom – Tom – life’s not easy, it call for – Spartan endurance! There’s so many things in my heart that I cannot describe to you! I’ve never told you but I – loved you father…

And you – when I see you taking after his ways! Staying out late – and – well, you had been drinking the night you were in that – terrifying condition! Laura says that you hate the apartment and that you go out nights to get away from it! Is that true, Tom?

My mantra of "Just keep going" is an adaptation of his "Press on". Somehow he also passed on to me that the act of solving a problem was fun in and of itself and having a cool story to tell later is a big part of high adventure. ⚙️💫😎 It's a treasure to spend evenings like this together and I am so not taking it for granted. 💘💡🦋🌱#dad #fathersday #roots #favoritedaughter #parented #withlove #grateful #mindonfire #june2017
