- the toothbrush joke
- the way he'd say he was 5' 19" when people would ask how tall he was
- the way he drove
- mexi mess
- how he'd sleep through football games, but if you changed the channel his eyes popped open and he could tell you the score
- how he and mom were together before things went south
- the way he made everyone laugh
- how he tied my shoes on the way to preschool and kindergarten - totally unsafe for both of us
- how he taught me to tie my shoes (learning how to do it left handed and in a way that worked for me first)
- his "gun in the airport" jokes (that's what mom called them when he was being super "inappropriate")
- song lyrics
- his obsession over stereo equipment
- listening to him give talks in sacrament
This made my heart simultaneously ache and fill with joy. Your dad left such an inspiring legacy of the power of laughter.
