Kathy, Even as I got older, My dad was very special to me. Unfortunatly My dad passed away about 7 years ago, But I still remember those special moments that Daddy put aside for me :) Thank You for the invitation, Lovely Poem.

Thanks for sharing this, Kathy... Such a beautiful poem. I am blessed to still have my Dad who just turned 90. He doesn't live close to me any more, he now lives with my brother in another state but I do talk with him on the phone a lot and just visited him in June. Course it's never enough... My Dad is a wonderful man... My Mom and Dad were married for over 60 years. He took care of my Mom after she became disabled for 10 years until she passed away. That just seems so amazing in this day and age... Dad then remarried about a year later at the age of 82. Then my "step-mom" of 98 passed away after they had been married for 7 years! He says that's it for him after outliving 2 wives!

Hi Donna, I "feel" you on that one-but the silver lining is that my son has turned out to be one of the best dads I have ever seen! I am so happy all of the time, that of all the things that I have done in life, picking a man who would be a great father role model turned out so well-who know these things at 19 years old! (he didn't have one either) Of course a lot of people helped and God has been a constant presence in our lives one way or another. My second (and last) husband is also an excellent dad, so even tho I sometimes get little pangs of envy now and then, it is a joy to see that these kind of relationships do exist and do produce healthy happy human beings. Thanks for sharing.
