Father's Day

 Yesterday was Father's Day and it reminds me to look at old photos of my dad who passed away in 2000.

Dad was a funny guy, a good writer who had a fantastic sense of humour and saw the ridiculous in things. I guess that's where I get that from. (He was a worrier too and I know I got that from him as well!)

And he was an animal lover and always had conversations with each of the cats. Here he is with Cinnamon. I miss my dad every day but I feel so blessed having had him around for as long as I did.

  1. Your dad was indeed someone special. You were very lucky to have a dad who was invested in his children when it was not the norm.
    He was a rate individual who always made you feel great just to talk with him!

  6. The photo of your Dad in conversation with Cinnamon is wonderful. Anyone who can talk with a cat is obviously special.
