I appreciate your kind words.

I can tell by your writings that you are creating some terrific parent/child memories yourself. 
Good for you.

Sally,
I agree about letting go. I mourned for my Dad for 10 years as each morning and each bedtime I thought of him. Finally after 10 years I was worn out with sorrow and it lifted and now I only think of happy things.
Love your comments,
Lou

I agree, Dads are the greatest. My daughter told me when she was a little girl, that "Mothers are teachers, but Dads are fun." Kids know dont they?

Cameraeye - thanks for sharing this wonderful little piece about your dad.
It is so wonderful to feel like that about a dad. I sometimes wish I could say the same things about mine, but unfortunately I cannot. I admire people who had great dads. I am sure he will be on your mind forever.

Cameraeye, I loved this story of your Dad. Thank you for sharing it. My own dad is never far from my thoughts. I always smile when I think of him. He was born 1903.

What a wonderful tribute to your Dad. I still have mine, I keep him on my dresser cause I can't let him go ...maybe someday. He was born in 1919. I bet your dad and mine were very much a like. I loved him so...

you are lucky, my a father has always been quite detached. he
disowned me for reasons of his own. i don't think he wanted any of his kids, nor a wife...he just wanted to have sex without consequences. he really should've invested in condoms. i deal with lots of crapola cause my dad is so unloving. it has taken me a long time, but i'm getting better. oh! how i envy those of us raised with love !

I feel that way about my dad, he would be 89 if he was alive. Hey Lou I had a baby at 42.

In a way my dad was too.
