I don’t remember the day.
I don’t remember the time.
I don’t remember the can.
I do remember that the can opener did not work.
I remember that Dad tried over and over to get the can opened.
Was the can opener on strike?
Dad was hotter than fire.
What happened next will never leave my memory.
That can opener, it should’ve worked, and since it didn’t; it never would again.
It didn’t even get a ‘last meal’.
It lost a battle...with…my dad’s huge fist.
His fist flew threw the air and landed on that can opener. POW!
There must have been a million pieces of that thing on the floor.
Today, it’s one of those hilarious, memorable moments that I share with my dad.
But that day…that day was NOT the day to laugh. R.I.P. can opener.
Today is my dad’s birthday. He will be here Christmas Eve and I’m super excited. He stayed with us last Christmas Eve and it was really cool to share Christmas morning with him. My kiddos will be so happy to wake up to Papa Tom AND new goodies!!
