Doug is one of the best people that a single mom of 5 and her children could have asked for. When they met I was a very selfish child and very jealous of him. I did not want to share mom with him. Now I'm glad he pushed his way past me. I was not one of the nicest people to him for the first year or two of their relationship. It wasn't until after my little sister (Holly) was born that I grew up and stopped being mean to him. But during all of that time he never gave up on me. He tried very hard to do and be their for all 6 of us kids without regard to the fact that weren't all his biological children. He was there to help us through some very bad times and we had some extremely good times. He was the true meaning of a Dad, grandfather and a friend to all of us. He was Holly's best-friend and he would do all kinds of stuff with her and her friends. He could turn the most boring things into fun. I'm sure you could ask anyone that had encountered him about the fact that he was the kind of person that you couldn't really burn a bridge with.... Anyone could have asked him for anything and if he had it they got it. It could have been his last $10.00 if he thought you needed you got it. There wasn't anything that I couldn't talk to him about. And he never gave us bad advice. He was the best thing that ever happened to our mom and all of us. They had their ups and downs like all couples do but they were awesome together. He is greatly missed and will forever be with us. And that is because I'm the person I am today because of him and mom. Without their unconditional love and guidance I'm not sure where I'd be today. I love and miss him more and more everyday. I can only imagine how much mom and Holly are hurting so please keep them and the rest of us in your thoughts and prayers.
