I am currently participating in a 50 Day Gratitude Challenge.
Today's Challenge was to name one person in your life whom you are grateful for who helped shape your life.
I am so grateful for my Dad. This picture was taken in 1955 when he was 24 years old.
There are many things l could say about my Dad. The one thing l learned from him that has definitely shaped my life is that he always was concerned of the interests of his family, friends, neighbors and co-workers ahead of his own.
I miss my Dad dearly as he passed away in 2003 at the age of 72. When l have an important decision to make l ask myself what would Dad do or say
What a handsome, caring and intelligent man you had raising you, and for those good genetics, you've been blessed! That's a beautiful tribute and a lovely way to spend the month in concentrated awareness!
A lovely portrait! Earlier in the summer I spent some time scanning all the photos in the album that my mum and dad had. It was a very moving experience. Many memories were stimulated and it reminded me again how much I miss them both.
