Who was Malcolm Joseph Mason?
He was just the greatest Dad that ever lived!!
He was to me.
As far as daughters and fathers go we were very close.
I miss my Dad.
Sometimes when I close my eyes I can hear his voice.
and sometimes I can actually see him .
It's funny but everytime I go to an automotive shop
I think of my Dad.
Spent many an hour waiting in those little waiting rooms
for him to get off work.
Silly the things you remember isn't it?
Getting those candies out of a machine for me
with his big greasy dirty hands.
Can still see his hands .
Remember the picnics and the parades
My Dad was a volunteer Fireman.
The barbques and the pig roasts
the way he'd come and check on
my sister and I to see if we had soda to drink.
All the little things he could do
Like he made pancakes with animals on them
Oh I remember his laugh so well!!
My Dad would toss quarters on the ground
when we were not looking
then he'd say what is that ?
We being kids that are curious
Of coarse bent down every time
and screamed with glee!
Its a quarter Dad !!!!!!
He just smiled and say
We'll you must be lucky today !!
My Dad did all the things lots of fathers do
Made santas footprint in soot at christmas
Would tell us all about the big rabbit he saw hopping away.
Said he saw a fairy come threw our windows at night
and leave with a little white tooth.
He made my childhood the best any kid could ever ask for!!
What a good man he was too
never had much in material things
but alway's said he was the richest man on earth
because he had children that loved him.
I miss him so much .
He will alway's be with me no matter where I go.
He was a man to those who only knew him
He was a friend who you could rely on
To my mother he was her sunshine and her life
To me he was MY DAD
God Bless You Dad !!!
I LOve YOU !!
Tell your Dad you love him.
Let him always know you care.
Because you only get one.
and there is a big hole in your heart
When he is no longer there.
