This closing summation from the Frankie Galvin character in the film The Verdict is how I remember my father the most.
I miss my Dad.
I miss the talks, the meals, the sporting events, the fishing trips and just the time we spent together.
A day doesn’t pass when I don’t think of him.
Sometimes a memory will make me tear up.
But you get better every day and work through it. That’s life.
This character Paul Newman played in The Verdict is my father. They both shared the same storyline of personal redemption.
I know he’s in a better place, but still selfishly…I miss him.
My Dad was a people person who loved helping people with their legal problems. He was a street lawyer who helped those who needed help whether thay had money or not.
I know he’s extremely proud of the fact Little Robert Jackson his namesake is approaching his second birthday in less than a month.
Little Robert looks just like Dad and like him never stops moving or talking.
I miss my Dad.
