How can I be chuckling at your father recording all the cars he ever had and their mileage while crying at the same time for your loss? Life is a funny old journey. You meet some amazing folk along the way. I feel very fortunate to have heard about your father and his journey. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings at this time.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-25496977600709965982014-10-12T15:13:08.132-04:002014-10-12T15:13:08.132-04:00What a wonderful and moving tribute to your Dad.

He shaped and formed my life in more ways than anyone could ever know and I feel his loss profoundly. I used to draw floor plans growing up, just for fun, and I remember him talking to me at dinner one night at the old house, encouraging me to become an architect - knowing now that he drew those house plans makes me smile. Thank you for sharing these photos and this story with the world so everyone else can see into him just a tiny bit.

My father told many funny stories about when he was growing up, but never wrote them down which is a bit odd since he longed to be a writer. So I have tried to remember as much as I can of his stories & written them down in his stead. As for fortune seeing you visit the family at just the right time - I have no idea how that happens, but I know it does! So glad for you, you were able to be there - for both you & your mom, as well.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-43777603957941466872014-10-11T11:21:12.731-04:002014-10-11T11:21:12.731-04:00I wish my father had shared more too.
