Father's Day Tribute - Cherished Memories of a Special Dad

Always express your feelings while loved ones are here, as remorse can last a lifetime.---
Article
As children, we were fascinated by the story behind the countless tiny dents and scars on my father's face. It's a tale I’ll share later in my tribute to the most extraordinary dad a daughter could have. His sudden death at just fifty-four was a shock. He was at the hospital for a routine plaster cast removal when he unexpectedly passed away in the waiting room.
Despite the abrupt farewell, the cherished memories of my twenty-six years with him remain vivid. If I could turn back time, I’d apologize for taking him for granted. Yet, I find comfort in knowing that his forgiving nature would welcome me one day, arms wide open, at the pearly gates.
They say the good die young, a thought that eased my resentment toward destiny for taking him so soon. What makes dads special, and why was mine exceptional? To me, it’s simple: he embodied "special" in countless ways.
My dad served 34 years in the army, and during a tense period in Hong Kong, danger loomed. Alarm bells signaled an evacuation, and families were rushed back to camp. Eight of us crammed into the back of a three-ton army truck, shielded by pillows, as Chinese riot mobs surged from roadside trenches, armed with all sorts of weapons. On our journey, twenty-one rocks struck our wagon.
The convoy behind us didn’t fare well, leaving burning wrecks in its wake. I often wonder if we’d have survived if the others hadn’t defied orders that day.
The terrifying experience left us with a truck missing a windshield, a driver forever changed, and eight lives filled with unforgettable memories. That’s how my father’s myriad of scars came to be?"and why we are forever marked with the special legacy of a dear old dad.
