SURREAL (seeing video footage of my dad for 1st time)

My Father past away in a work related accident when I was 3 years old. He worked at a Phillips 66 plant when one day something went terribly wrong! There was a huge explosion. My dad suffered sever 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 98% of his body. He lived for a couple of weeks but could not overcome the severity of his injuries. I never really knew my dad. Just small mental images, or pictures, or stories my mom and relatives would share. About a year ago my uncle,my dad's oldest brother was going through some old film footage and was able to take them to a place to get transferred onto DVD. He handed me a dvd one day and said I found some old footage of your father and I would like you to have it. I was very honored. When I got home and place the DVD in my computer. I was very nervous yet anxious to see my dad. I pressed play and began to weep when the video of my mom and dad were celebrating their marriage at a reception at my grandpa and grandma May's home. Although there was no sound I could hear the noise and the laughter. I watched my dad's mannerisms and said to myself, that looks likes me. After the video was over I was grateful for those moments. I began to reflect on many sweet sweet memories of life with family,and friends. I began to think of my role as a Father to my kids. My hearts desire is to be the best dad I can be to my kids,but I am going to save that blog and video for tomorrow. In the mean time do me the honor of meeting my dad in this small clip of many.
