The Galveston, Texas tripA lasting memory that I have about my dad is our family trip to Galveston, Texas with My mom and Two younger brothers, Matthew and Larry. We went to the ocean and we all walked the beach and gathered Sea Shells. We talked about taking other trips and talked about when us kids were younger. What stands out in my mind is when I watched my mom and dad holding hands and they were walking on the beach. I wanted a love that would last like that forever. This is a great lasting memory of my dad and I'll hold on to it forever. He was the strongest man that I ever knew and the greatest. I love you daddy!
