ps. my dad died when I was 3 so I never knew the love of a father.
He was a good dad. Very patient with me even when I was insufferable...
DeleteI'm sorry about your father passing away. But wow - 99! You are blessed to have had him so long. What wonderful pictures of your dad and his life. Thank you for posting them!
