I don't have anything my Dad carried in his pocket. I have one thing of his, a little spoke shave. He knew my son and I were building a little cabin and he had Mom bring him out before he passed away and we talked. Dad and I never got along, probably to much alike and hard headed and stubborn I guess. He was always too busy to really get to know me and I was a sickly child and wasn't a lot of help to him with the heavy chores. We talked that day, he told me he thought I was doing a good job raising my kids and he was proud of me. He said he thought of the spoke shave and wanted us to use it to smooth the logs for the porch on the cabin. He passed away before I had the posts done. It hangs on the wall in the cabin entryway. I always run my hand over a post and touch the spoke shave every time I go there. The thing I will always carry with me is his work ethic. He worked WITH us kids, he didn't TELL us what to do. It was always " we need to get this or that done" not " go do this or that" He has been gone since 1995. My son was 6, I was 39 and Dad was 95 that day at the cabin but my son and I will always have that memory of him....James
