Today’s LO is for my dad, who passed away 1 year ago today. I thought this would be a very hard day – while I am sad, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. I guess time does heal all wounds.In the view finder reel, I placed pics of my dad from infant to September 2006 (my wedding). I also placed pics of things that remind me of him:
* White diamonds perfume - he bought this for me for Christmas several times
* A circuit board - he was an electronics technician and loved to tinker with things
* Coke – dad’s favorite drink of all time
* Blueberry pie – his favorite dessert
* Pizza – we ate a lot of pizza when I was a kid, my dad loved it – especially Conan’s Pizza
The word art is the first verse of a poem by Kristi Dyer:
I find an old photograph
And I see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
And my heart remembers love.
This poem expresses my feelings so eloquently…not all of my memories of my dad are pleasant, but as time passes, I remember only love.
