Hoagie’s & Martini’s

It’s unreal to think it’s been two years already since I held my daddy’s hand for the last time. My mom works Wednesday’s and for years, knowing my dad would be home alone, I would bring him a @davannis sub for lunch where we would spend quality father/daughter time together. We would talk about anything and everything. I miss those conversations and learning something new every time I was with him. That was the deal, we had learn one thing every time we were together.

He loved the Latin language and would give the derivative of a word in almost every conversation. My dad didn’t drink much but about once a year he would enjoy a Gin Martini. He would bring up the fact it derived from martinez and wondered if two drinks would be martini or martinis?

After bringing my mom flowers today it was only suiting on this Wednesday that we picked up his favorite assorted meat hot hoagie in his honor. @travmalnar prepared a martini to complete the meal which brought a tear to my eye.

I miss him so much but I’m so grateful I was able to spend “Wednesday’s” with him and will cherish those times forever. I love you Papa.
