you forgot to mention that the hospital was more than 50 miles away. You also didn't mention that 2 was not too young to go to the pumpkin patch and pick your own pumpkin....
your father also didn't judge people by the way they looked or you wouldn't be with me because I was a long hair hippie freak when you started dating me ;-p
I love this post SO much.
A perfect tribute.
Sounds like a wise man.
I love this post. It made me try to think about what I learned from my Dad. He died when I was 15 so it was before I really got to appreciate him and what I could learn from him. So, I did my post about things I remembered. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love when dad posts on your blog
Figured this would help you find me better
love,
your offspring
Wonderful acknowledgment of all your father means to you.
You had a great dad. I enjoyed reading this post.
