That was the first time he told me he loved me and he was proud of me. He wasn't a very emotional man, so him doing that really meant a lot.

I was so emotionally distraught. I missed my father. Those first couple days were really hard.

He never expressed anything to me about pain.

He had a green thumb. He loved to water the plants and cut the flowers. He was so proud of how his trees looked.

As for me, I'm single, and it hurts me 'cause he's not here and he won't be able to see his grandchildren grow up. He was always proud of his three sons finishing college, growing up and providing for themselves.

Any time you go to Central Oregon, you aren't terribly unhappy with a split. What we are disappointed with is that we worked hard all year to win a league championship, and we may have lost that (with the loss to Redmond).
