Today would have been my Dad's 86th birthday.
He passed away March 7, 2011.
It was in my late teens when I began calling my dad, Papa - don't recall why it just fit between us.
My Papa's birthday was June 10th and mine June 11th - we shared many wonderful family birthdays over the years.
This photo was the last birthday I saw my Papa.
My Mom passed away in 2006.
I greet their birthdays now with fond memories,
heartfelt love and tears as I miss them dearly.

ReplyDeleteMy grand daughter and I bake a cake for my mom on her birthday, even tho mom died years before Sugarwings was born.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea… it a way for her to connect without ever meeting her grandmother… wonderful idea!
DeleteWhat a wonderful photo of the two of you. Aren't you so happy you have it? I know how it feels to miss your dad. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you. My sister Dee & I traveled there to visit him knowing in our hearts that was our last visit he would probably recognize us. He had Alzheimer's Disease. I cherish this photo!
