Father's Day

It's Father's Day today, so I thought I would post the last photo I ever had taken of me and my dad. It was my wedding day, July 4 1981 and sadly, my dad died just a few months later, so this photo is very precious to me.
Even though it has been a long time since he died, I think of him often and still miss him heaps. My abiding memories of him are:
that he loved me
he wanted the best for me
he had a great work ethic
he was a spiritual man
he loved gardening
he was great around the house and with cars
he would take me in his arms and dance with me when I was little
he would buy me ALL the Donny Osmond albums I asked for at Christmas even though he told me it would only be a couple (YOU ROCK DAD!!!)
he started me loving Estee Lauder makeup
he didn't complain when I married and he was left all alone
he waited for me to be with him before he left this life behind

Dad, I hope you know this...I LOVE YOU!!!

A Happy Father's Day also to my husband Brent, son Daniel and son in law Greg on all the wonderful work you do and have done in raising your children.
