THINKING OF DAD on this Father's Day...

Dad
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

*****

Thought I'd share some of the pictures of my Dad that I keep by my studio work desk...
Looking at them always put a smile on my face :)


Daddy's Little Girl!!

Dad & me ...me at just one month old.
Yup, Dad looks tired!!
Well, i guess 4 boys & 1 new baby girl would make anyone tired! :)

Being BIG baseball fans!! (go RED SOX)
One of dad's & my favorite trips...Cooperstown, Base Ball Hall of Fame.
******


Dad's "Did you put your bike away?!" look... :)
*****

Giving away his little girl.
Dad cried all the way up the aisle.

*****
One of dad's love besides the love for Mom, kids and the ocean...



Stain glass!!

You could always find Dad working away in his stain glass studio with Mom,
working on a stain glass master piece.

****

Dad you will always be in our hearts & in our thoughts.
Wishing you Happy Father's Day Dad...

MISS you Dad!!
LOVE YOU!!
