But mostly now I'm able to think of him with such affection and gratitude. I would have loved to have had him in my life for many more years, but I'm so grateful I had him for as long as I did. His spirit definitely lives on as part of me. May God bless you at this time. Thanks for sharing your memories of him.Okie Book Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011163462551105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-53482858436398049622010-02-26T08:16:58.281-08:002010-02-26T08:16:58.281-08:00that was lovely! some great pictures!

I looked through your pictures of him again, and they just told a wonderful story of his life and the kind of person he was. Take care, thinking of you! (It's kind of weird,) but I wish I could have met him, he sounds like a man who made the most out of his life! Not to mention had a wonderful sense of humor!!!<br />KateAuntie Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360461982253858105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-77541584483107368422010-02-25T09:40:10.304-08:002010-02-25T09:40:10.304-08:00Your feelings just touch my heart and rekindle how...Your feelings just touch my heart and rekindle how much I miss my father too.

To encourage you, know that the ability to identify and be transparent about all those feelings makes for healthy grieving. No matter how long it takes. Every time I read a post from you I want to hop on a plane, come to your house, sit in your kitchen and talk for hours. Marla, you are wonderful for me and I come away blessed by you always.Two Shades of Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449326595781439458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098515874635881752.post-4400527598209576682010-02-24T22:38:49.660-08:002010-02-24T22:38:49.660-08:00Such a sweet tribute.
