Happy Birthday VHL!

When I was 13 I saw my father again for the first time since I was 7. I didn't know what to think, I mean on one hand I'd be seeing my dad again, on the other I didn't know what to think of him. The man had been in prison for years so I was nervous he wouldn't be the same. I got on my Southwest airlines plane from Tampa Florida to Birmingham Alabama, I spent two hours speaking to the lady sitting next to me. I told her about the situation, she really felt for me she told me that no matter what happened that things tend to work out in the end. I wish I remembered her name, she was super nice to me and that's all I really needed right then. I got off the plane and grabbed my luggage and started looking around for my dad, I eventually found him. I spotted him by his short stature and familiar red hair, I gave him a hug and he hugged back. I was 13 but I was already taller than my old man, I let him know that and he laughed. He hadn't changed, my father wasn't a violent or angry man like a lot of people had told me. He was still the same loving father he had always been, we went back to his home and I spent the summer with him. Meeting new friends, seeing old ones I hadn't seen in years. Going camping, hunting, fishing, just things I can't do here in the city. I don't know if this is one of the memories you were asking about, but it's one that means a lot to me. Happy 13th birthday VHL, here's to many more.

Man, 13 was a LONG time ago!  That may have been the year I went on a road rally with my older brother as his navigator. You know, you get clues to go to the next stop on the route and best time wins.
