It is difficult to choose just one favorite memory of my dad, but one that I have been reminded of over the past week was when he was teaching me to drive. I had a learner's permit, so he would accompany me several places before I had my license, one time in particular was the mall. I was looking for a specific pair of Vans shoes, and he was very patient as I drove all around town looking for the ones I wanted. (I still have those shoes, by the way). He was always very generous with his time, which I will always remember about him. His kindness and giving spirit is something I will carry with me and try my best to pay forward to others.
