Dad...thanks for the memories! <br><br>Gary Stanley was just thirteen when his father died - but he still looks back to his memories of dad for the greatest (and often funniest) lessons he ever learned. <br><br>With whimsical - and sometimes side-splitting - humor, and just a touch of nostalgia, Stanley shares delightful stories of a man who taught him to see with his heart. In the telling, he reminds of how much we appreciate our own fathers - weaving in reminders of a very present Heavenly Father who fills our lives with meaning. <br><br>This heart-warming collection of stories - told in Norman Rockwell style - will tickly your funny bone and take you on a journey down memory lane, with such chapters as: <br><br>* Real Indians Don't Wear Underwear <br>* Swimming on Daddy's Back <br>* How to Ruin a Pair of Tennis Shoes <br>* My First Dog <br><br>Whether or not you ever encounter a moose, you will surely appreciate this joyful and wonderful glimpse of what a father means to his children.
