My father decided to explore the other side.
Not a day goes by I don't think of him ...
I miss you, Dad !
R.I.P.
1921 - 1974

Sorry about your dad g\s. He left you way too soon at only 52 or 3 years old. I find myself doing the same thing each year for both my mom and my dad. At the very minute of their passing, I do a lot of reflecting. My moms 50th anniversary in Heaven is coming up in a few weeks on Jan. 15th at 4:55 PM. She was only 46.
I wonder about every day what my Father would think of the world we live in
The cemetery where my folks and family are buried was surrounded by woods and meadows back when my mom was laid to rest. Now it is jammed with condos, apartments, and luxury homes.
May he RIP . he still lives on in your heart and memories .
I know the feeling all too well .
my parents and in laws have all passed on and a brother and sister , I miss them all , maybe a bit funny for a long time I would think about calling or stopping by to show a new gun, toy or just swap story's and think I can no longer do that .
Every time I am doing a project involving building or remodeling I think of dad , I still have some of his wood working tools I use just because , and will pass them on to my sons .
I think of all my mom did on so little money and what her and dad did for us kids thru out the years I could not count the time I seen my dad go to work sick or in pain but did so for the family , and of course the now the OMG new headlines LOL butt / beatings but that's how they were brought up and taught how to handle kids and the same for many generations before them and passed on down the line
may they all RIP .
Its never easy.
My Mom always said don't mourn for me I've lived a great life and yet due to Covid she died in the Hospital alone and terrified on Thanksgiving last year and I could do nothing to resolve it. If I had not been so sick from the Chemo and radiation I may well have stormed the place to get to her side but alas I will live with the knowledge I wasn't by her side when I most needed to be until my own demise.
My father will be gone 43 years in Feb. Still using his 1951 farm all super a tractor and a bunch of his hand tools and such . He was a good rough carpenter but a so so finish man . Miss him still
