Thanks for sharing Hollndnucat.My father passed this morning. He started his time at Northwestern in the fall of 1955. Completed his undergrad in 3 years then went on to Northwestern Dental School where he met his wife and my mother in 1958 who was a nursing student at Northwestern. This lead to my love of Northwestern and Northwestern athletics. My mother passed away in 2018. Over the years took my dad back for many basketball and football games.
I am a father of 4, all of whom are now adults with their own families. And one of my greatest joys is knowing that the day I too pass there is nothing new or meaningful we could have said or done for each other. We will have left all we had to give on the field ... so to speak.
Sounds like you had a similar experience with your father.
The best Dads give their children more than a great life. They give them a life experience to be grateful for.
