Dad died three years ago. Mom's still as feisty as ever but she misses him badly. I'll call her and we'll have a good long talk tomorrow.My dad died when I was 16 , so my mom and I were very close . My mom passed away 15 years ago and I miss her every day .
Thanks for posting .
It must be in the ether, because I posted that link 6 hours ago, as I remembered my mother and Coach Bryant's commercial. Indeed, I wish that I could call my mother. :-(I posted that clip on Facebook yesterday. Like Coach Bryant, I sure wish I could call mine (27 years gone this month).
I miss my dad every day. My dad died on January 27 1998 and I still remember it with selma-esque recall.
Yes he adlib the line, at one time it was the most watch tv commerical of all time in Alabama. I talked to mine yesterday.... I remember watching it live and it still brings goosebumps.I read or heard way back when that commercial came out that Coach Bryant added the last part, "I sure wish I could call mine." (Don't know for sure if this is true.)
