Happy Birthday Dad- 5th August
Although it is 27 years since he died I still miss him. I have so many happy memories from my childhood - helping him in the shop, walking with him, wanting him to come straight up to my room when he came home when I was sick.
This rather blurred picture is blown up from a small photo taken as I was leaving home to come to New Zealand. I visited several times and my parents came over once. Even though there were years between seeing him the loss is still as though it was yesterday.

So nice to have happy memories. My father died when I was a child and sadly I don't remember much about him. I often wonder what life would have been like if he had been a part of it for longer!
ReplyDeleteSusan, lovely to have a photo, the years diminish the grief but the loss is always there. Judith, I have added you to my blog list. Cheers from Jean
ReplyDeleteI loved my dad but never appreciated him as much as he deserved. I don't think we ever truly get over the loss of our parents.
ReplyDeleteIt's now 34 years since my father died and 30 since my mother did and I sill miss them both. No-one can replace our parents.
ReplyDeleteSue I know just what you mean - my dad died on 22 November 1987. Perpetua is so right - no-one can replace parents. Will email you soon xx
ReplyDelete{{HUGS}} My nana passed away 12 years ago. I miss her so much...
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of the rain too...it was pouring down this morning while delivering papers ...I got drenched!
