Gregory Joseph O'Meara, my biological father, died on August 21st, 1981.

I never knew him and know very little about him.

What I “know”: He was in the Air Force. He was liked by his friends and was described as, "The life of the party." In the few photographs I have/seen, his mouth is wide-open, head thrown back, in a laugh.

He was fit, had a winning smile, and very blonde hair.

He should be 67 years old this year (June 22nd, 1957 - today).

He died in a fatal car accident, 43 years ago today, at age 24 years, one month, 30 days old.

No matter who he was at 24 years old, I still wish he was here today.

Thank you for this life.

I will never forget you.
