I believe the legacy that my Dad left behind is his two daughters,  he made us the women that we are today.  He instilled so many great qualities in us, and was a wonderful father.  My Dad wasn't the "typical" Dad.  When my parents got divorced, we stayed with my Dad.  He did everything for us, and for that I am so grateful.  We had our ups and downs like most parent/child relationships, but throughout it all he was always there for me.  I am now a Mother myself and I see myself doing and saying all the same things my Dad would say, all the things none the less that I hated hearing growing up.  My Dad was a strict parent and at the time couldn't see that he was doing it for our own good.  I see it now Dad and thank you.  If I had to characterize my parenting style I would say that I'm pretty much a "mini-me" of my Dad.  I miss him so much, but he will live on forever through my sister, myself, my girls and my sister's future children.  We will never forget and never stop being who our Dad "made us".
