Holidays

Dad was gone on the truck most of the time. Some times we had our Thanksgiving dinner a day early because he would have to meet the truck Wednesday night. I never remember him not being home Christmas. I’m sure he had to drive night and day for several days just to get home. Sometimes we went to bed Christmas Eve without him home but Christmas morning he was there. Dad was the biggest kid of all. He would get us up early Christmas morning and by 8AM it felt like lunch time.
