"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me." Jim Valano
My Father was always the first one to launch a phone call on a special occasion, whether it was your birthday, Christmas, Hanukah- whatever it was that you had to celebrate, he was ready to celebrate with you.

I miss him everyday and the Holiday certainly emphasis that truth. I miss the phone call in the morning with his cheery voice and kind hearted warmth illuminating through the phone line. I miss hearing the garage door open knowing he was popping in to say hello.
I miss the enthusiasm of life that my Father shared with everyone. He was vibrant and interested in life and wonderfully intelligent. He was my go to man for advice, intelligence and many of the solutions.
In my youth, I move to Chicago for a few months. It was after college and my boyfriend Hector was moving out there to open a Benetton store on Michigan Avenue. I hated to leave Boston but I was also ready for an adventure. Hector and I had broken up for over a year and had gotten back together after a sad separation. We were ready to start our new life together and I was going to start his new business adventure with him.
