February 5, 1922 - July 8, 2007

I miss you so much, Dad.Dad and me.Dad on the boat he built.Dad on 'his' ship.

I've gone back through some posts by clicking on the 'label' dad (at the end of this entry) I found this from the last Father's Day I had with my Dad. I've decided to edit this post which had previously ended with the photo and caption above to include this:

Here's what it says on the card for my dad. I think this is the best card I have ever purchased.

Dad -
The loving gifts you've given me as a father have shaped my life and made me the person I am...

Your strong sense of values, of fairness, of right and wrong are all part of me...

My outlook on life...
my sense of humor...
my interests and talents...
I can see you in them all.

It makes me happy and proud to know that the qualities in you I love and admire so much are a part of me.

You are always with me, Dad...

in my thoughts, in my heart, in the very fabric of my life...

you are always with me.

Happy Father's Day - Anonymous

I know just how you feel, Deb.
But, I'd far rather have these happy memories, than have bad ones, so I guess we've just got to be thankful, and get on with life. Ain't we?

Yep, for sure.

As long as the fond memories endure, people like your dad will live on.

Thanks, Scribbs.

I am sorry that I never got to met your Dad. From hearing your stories, seeing the pictures and knowing you . . . I feel as though I know him.

You are your Father's daughter.

This was a lovely tribute. Thank you for sharing.
