This is a beautiful post. What a tribute to your father. I can feel the love and admiration, the respect and awe, pouring through the words you write. How blessed you were to be raised by the kind of man you could judge other men by. He sounds so much like my own dad, and I know I have been blessed to have him with me for so long. Isn't it strange how looking at old photos can bring up a whole flood of memories. Not just of the photo itself, but of things happening before and after. Sometimes, you can almost still smell the sweet perfume of times gone by. Memories...oh how wonderful when they remind us of family ties that bind us still. Who we were, who we are and who we will be is all tied up in that. What a legacy your children and grandchildren have. It will color their lives all their days also, and be carried on to your grandchildren. One generation, teaching the next...and being lifted up and blessed by the past.<BR/><BR/>In the last few years, it has begun to bother me that my grandchildren wil not know their heritage...or that my children will forget some of the details. Both my parents are from different parts of the country from where we are now. So, I started a scrapbook of both of their families. I have been collecting pictures of where they grew up and pictures of them as children...where they went to church and school. I am carrying it up through my boys time with them as youngsters. I want my grandchildren to one day be able to look at it and maybe see something that looks familiar and know that it is their heritage. I want them to know of the little frame house my mom grew up in, and that my dad left home to join the Navy at 16. I have included pics of my granparents and their lives and where they are now buried. I trust that this will be a treasured keepsake in years to come.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, TonjaTonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507936997454240566.post-10319454501123216832008-03-30T00:22:00.000-05:002008-03-30T00:22:00.000-05:00Awwwww....so sweet.

This was a very touching and wonderfully written tribute to your dad (and your whole family for that matter). Loved the photos. March 25th is also my daddy's birthday, and he would have been 85. He passed away almost 13 years ago. My parents were divorced when I was very young so he was not a big part of my life, but I love him dearly anyway and miss him.
