Yes, I'm sure he would have been comforted to know you're ok and happy too.

You're especially blessed to have so many wonderful photos. I have enough to keep memories alive, but not nearly so many as I would like!<br /><br />I know you dad would like Rick, and there's no doubt he would have enjoyed all of your success in life. It's strange... in some ways, I think I know my dad better now than I did when he died. Of course, I was still very young at that time, though far from a child. I'm wiser now, and more perceptive -- thank goodness!<br /><br />Your autumn is coming our way. I saw a first V of geese today, honking their way south. There was only one V, but it was a large one, and they were flying fast. They must have heard the grain fields are full and ripe.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-76621736471656352932015-10-08T11:49:10.122-04:002015-10-08T11:49:10.122-04:00So lovely reading about your Dad.

Our fathers would be happy for both of us, i think. My dad definitely wanted a god life for me, and I think he was assured I had one. Jim loves to tell the story about how my dad gave him a stern warning the morning of our wedding..that he better "treat his little girl right." I love that he was so fiercely protective of me. <br /><br />Fathers set the stage for the kind of men we love, I think.

Amazing what happened and evolved during his lifetime and since. And what a shame that he died too soon to have met Rick and to know how very happy you could be...though, maybe, I hope, he does know somehow and somewhere beyond us he is celebrating the person you've grown to be!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-18278615619306458042015-10-02T12:16:31.611-04:002015-10-02T12:16:31.611-04:00What lovely tributes to the changing seasons and, ...What lovely tributes to the changing seasons and, especially, to your dad.<br /><br />Nice work.I need orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819543886910857718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-83356689786282776442015-10-02T11:47:35.576-04:002015-10-02T11:47:35.576-04:00such a lovely tribute to your dad and such a hands...such a lovely tribute to your dad and such a handsome man.

He was proud of you and I'm sure he'd be so proud now to know you've met the right man for your life and that you're so happy. And...that you loved your daddy so. My daddy passed away in 1998 and I still miss him. I was a daddy's girl too.

We also talked about how he remembered big news about early flights when we watched the moon landing. Had he lived long enough (he died in 1978), he would have loved the computer. I still miss talking to him. Your photos of your dad are full of wonderful memories. I also enjoyed the walk along the ditch.Joanne Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759522152058279949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-4110125769511074882015-10-02T06:24:18.679-04:002015-10-02T06:24:18.679-04:00Happy 100th to your dear Dad, Jeanie...
