My Father

Unlike today’s song my father never dreamed of taking us to live in France. His war was in the Pacific theater not the European or perhaps he might have. Two of my father’s fondest dreams were to travel this great land and to own a piece of property with woods and a creek where he could hunt and fish.

I have realized the first of those dreams having been in all fifty states and eleven other countries. My son Jay, who will celebrate his thirty fourth birthday tomorrow, has realized dad’s second dream. A couple of years ago he purchased a piece of property in East Texas near the Louisiana state line. I have not seen it yet, but like the song I have seen in his eyes.

I hope to live long enough to park a little camper trailer for at least part of the year on that property making my father’s, my son’s, and my own dreams come true.

Your friend and fellow traveler,

David White
