I don’t recall Dad ever wearing a bow tie. If he had, I’m sure it would’ve been something like bee Bow Tie o’ the Day. He would’ve starred in these posts for me like Mom does. He would’ve worn any neckwear I handed him, and he would’ve posed and hammed it up, just to make me happy. Dad never served in the military, but he loved his country. Dad didn’t tolerate bullying or cruelty. He was a flower child– all about peace, love, and freedom. 🇺🇸 And bees. 🐝
