Reliability
After I lost my dad, one of my biggest challenges was the reality that I felt like there wasn't anyone there to take care of "me" anymore. For 25 years he was ALWAYS there... In my corner...

Thanks Death
I'm not one to wallow and get down about life and what I've lost, but lately I've found myself missing my dad more than I can explain.
