A repost from 2004. This was the last picture taken of my dad before he got cancer. I miss you so much, Pop.
Thanks for that. I hope this is how my kids will see me when I am gone.
ReplyDeleteVery nice tribute to your dad, Steph. When we are kids it seems that our parents will live forever, then life happens and one day we wake up and they're gone.
ReplyDeleteThis really was an awesome piece and so true to life. met my dad only once. 3 years later he was dead.
