Father's Day

While I was grocery shopping yesterday I picked up a Father's Day card for my husband and my son in law and it struck me that these were the only cards I'd be buying. Even though my father passed away almost 13 years ago it is still so very sad and I miss him and think about him daily. I was searching through some photos I have on my computer and found these. In honor of my dad I am sharing them with you today. What a handsome boy he was!

Here is my dad with me when I was a baby!

This is the way I remember my father most.

I made a small little scrapbook of my dad with a poem in it that says:

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure

When I come to the end of the road,

and the sun has set me free

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little-but not too long

and not with your head bowed low,

Remember the love that we once shared

Miss me - but let me go

For this journey that we all must take

and each must go alone

It's all a part of the Master's plan

A step on the road home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the hills we know

And bury your sorrow among the trees

Miss me- but let me go.

take care,

Dawn
