My dad is 83 and despite some pretty severe health problems(even the heart of a lion weakens with age), is not only still with me but, 12 days hence will stand with me as my best man when I finally get married at 51. Your post helped remind me again what a special gift that will be. Bless you and your memories of your dad.<br /><br />BB3BB3https://www.blogger.com/profile/06311683672058518191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573430815753455393.post-54534267791475174252009-09-28T07:26:00.367-07:002009-09-28T07:26:00.367-07:00Very touching.

I just want to see him every so often when he's grown. Your Dad feels the same way, whether you have big discussions or not. And he has a daughter with the best name in blogdom!!<br /><br /><br />MLM.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898845239082082494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573430815753455393.post-87779464696849391222009-09-27T13:09:21.042-07:002009-09-27T13:09:21.042-07:00Love.

We don't have much in common; he's a simple man and I think is often confused by my complicated perspectives on life. But he gave me the best gift: unconditional love and support from day one.CashmereLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729843454611380586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573430815753455393.post-65804843466901270112009-09-27T11:51:13.917-07:002009-09-27T11:51:13.917-07:00That is crazy!

It wasn't until last March, when he injured his back and was bed-ridden, that he allowed the black dog of grief to visit.~Tessa~Scoffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026251653030390293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573430815753455393.post-44321762593816855852009-09-27T08:08:14.408-07:002009-09-27T08:08:14.408-07:00Beautiful poem- and I love that picture of your Da...Beautiful poem- and I love that picture of your Dad... I am a daddy's girl- so close to my Dad. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose him. I'm really sorry for your loss. It seems like you have turned into an exceptional human being though so I am sure you Dad can take comfort in that :)<br /><br />On a side note- it's funny that picture of your Dad is in Panama. That is where my dad met my mom!The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.com
