Superman- well we thought so

That was one of the best things about Dad, he could do anything. When I was younger for christmas I got a table and chairs that was just my size. Santa had a great helper that year. If we could discribe to him what we wanted somehow he could build it. For Christmas a few years ago I asked Dad if he could build a saddle stand for my dh's saddle. He went to work and talk to some guy's about how they could do this and Christmas Eve I took home a stainless steel saddle stand. It was heave- but works so well. We also needed a gate for the round pen- once again- stainless steel. When we had a pipe in the bathroom bust- it was Dad to the rescue. The summer before he died, I can remember saying to myself, what would we do if Dad wasn't here? Well we now haveto count on other's to fix things. I was going to cut out a clock to give my brother-in-law that year, Dad was going to help me that same week. So I ended up asking his friend if he could help. He taught me how to use the saw, and we talked about Dad. And he cried, he tried not to let me see, but he did- and that mean so much to me. I knew that he loved my Dad. He was a true friend. It helps to know that so many people cared for him, because I know that they will be watching out for Mom.
