For my Dad

My father died on October 12th after a year long battle with leukemia. It was the saddest day of my life.  My Dad was my hero, he was always there for me and never judged me or made me stupid, even when I did the most ridiculous things. He taught me what it was like to be kind, compassionate, and patient.  My father was the embodiment of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.  I am so very blessed to have had such an amazing father, and I have no doubt as to where he is now.
The following is a scrap page that I made for him. The picture in it was one that I used to take from my mother's night stand when I was a little girl and carry around with me until he came home from work.  This photo is how I will always think of him. Healthy, strong, and the best smile in the world.
I miss him so much, but I know he is now at peace and I will hold him in my heart, and I know that one day I will see him again.


 I leave off with one of my Dad's favorite songs, My Way by Frank Sinatra...




I love you, Dad...

    This is a wonderful tribute to your Father. I lost my Daddy when I was only 7 years old but I remember him and his love and he too had a smile that light up the whole room.
    Beautiful Donna

      Thank you so much, Patti. I'm sorry you lost your dad at such a young age. That had to be hard. I was blessed to have my dad for so long. This past year was a rough one, he got so sick so fast. But I know that he is at peace and with God now, and that brings me and my family comfort.
