Thinking of you today and every day dad...looking through old photos of all the good times we had growing up with you. Always had a joke or two to put a smile on our faces. Love you!

We miss you every day, but especially today. Remembering all the great times we shared together.
Love you,
Kelly 

I took a walk in the meadow today with a heavy heart. I stopped under a tree to sit and count all the things in my life for which I am grateful. I started on one hand with Aunt Linda's love, Uncle Norm's wisdom, Bill's companionship, Mom's quick wit, Scott's compassion, Cris's humor and on and on. By the third or fourth time around my fingers and toes, counting my blessings and losing my woes, my loving labrador broke my train of thought licking the tears from my face. Nothing says "i love you" more than a labrador kiss:)

I skipped home with a lighter heart, a heart full of love and gratitude.

Thank you daddy.

To all for whom I am grateful, 
Love you,
Kelly 

Dear Dad,

I'll never forget the anticipation I had each evening waiting for you to come home from work. We had such fun, you always came home smiling and happy. I love you and miss you, and would give anything to see you walk through the door once again....

                                      There was a special dance

For dad and miss ruffle pants

More of a ritual,

Sort of Spiritual...

with chants.

Everyday just before five

She'd pace the floor

Waiting to see his face

Walk through the door.

And then it began

This dance of pure joy

For eight hours had passed

Since they had played with a toy.

With elbows bent tight

And hands flappin' like birds

They circled each other

jumping around like two nerds

Her eyes big and wide

His smile beaming

Almost at once

They’d burst into singing

Daddy’s home!

Daddy’s home!

Daddy’s home!

Thats dad on the far right....Squaw Valley bike race in 1973.
