Today marks 5 years without Dad. He always said “If you wanna stay good lookin’ you gotta eat”. Since we definitely wanna stay good lookin’, we ate. I’m not sure if day drinkin’ also helps you stay good lookin, but we did that also.
I honestly can’t believe it’s been 5 years. It’s funny how something can feel like an eternity, and at the same time sneak up on you and hit you like a ton of bricks. So much has changed, but at the same time so many things have stayed the same.
Even though he’s not physically here, I know he’s up there watching and judging my every move. Lol
I’m sure he already knows that every night I triple check the compressors, the heaters, the welders, pull on the exterior handles tooooo many times, and pretty much walk around acting like a complete psychopath at closing. I didn't inherit his dark Italian skin tone (bummer), but I definitely got 150% of his OCD.
My dad used to say "I shoulda been a proctologist because I deal with all day long". And as I type this I just realized he dealt with me all day long. Ha
Since I haven't hit full on proctologist status yet, I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our customers, employees, friends, and family. My dad said he was going to start “selling his body to make some real money”, but thanks to the support from our amazing customers he never had to!
Lastly- to all the guys & gals who keep this machine running behind the scenes, we are beyond thankful for you. ❤️
