  7. Ah, how touching this is. You were and still are daddy's little girl...

    My mother's birthday would have been last week. I lost her in 2000. Has time been really weird for you? in that there are times it seems like yesterday since you saw him and others when it feels like ages and ages? But their birthdays are still special to commemorate and I love how you did it this year for your father.

  8. What an adorable photo. I'm sorry that you lost your father. I am a Daddy's girl as well. I lost my father in 1993. You just can never have them long enough can you? Happy Birthday to your Dad.

  9. @Sparkle thanks, yep I was very lucky, I understand because sadly I didn't with my mother.

    @your fellow traveler, I am so sorry for your loss as well. No, you never can "have them long enough"((((hugs))))

    @Lydia I am so sorry for the loss of your mother ((((hugs)))) Yes, that is so true about the time. There are times I feel like I am going to pick up the phone and call him and then I have to tell myself he isn't here. Other times it seems like it has been forever. It is so strange, I know you understand and I am so sorry. His birthday was always special to me, I can't ignore it. Thank you ((((hugs))))

  23. Life is like a journey, taken on a train
    With a pair of travellers at each windowpane.
    I may sit beside you all the journey through,
    Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you.
    But if fate should make me sit by your side,
    Let's be pleasant travellers; it's so short a ride.

  26. If our furbabies leave paw prints on our hearts, our fathers must leave warm, safe hugs around them. :)

    Even though I lost my father back in 1998, not a day has gone by without my thinking of him... and smiling. xoxo
