Lunch Box Quotes

Lunch Box Quotes

Dad would have been 91 yesterday. It’s been 32 years, not sure why he’s been on my mind so much the past month or so. Maybe it’s watching my own kids grow up, or because I’m a little tired from the grind of work. Or, because I have an inclination for sad songs… If these lines from the Turnpike Troubadours don’t get ya, I’m not sure anything will.

Back on the red river, not hard to remember
When your daddy wouldn’t ever get old
When I saw the world from up on your shoulders
I remember the view, when you live like we do
Death doesn’t leave with the best part of you

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins. Today, I am going to have to solicit some help from the wife as she will be writing my notes for the next little while. I can publish, but require a little help on that end.
