He Believed in Me

My father gave me
the greatest gift
anyone could give
another person:
He believed in me.

Today was my dad's birthday but he is no longer here. I have his retired police badge and I had a replica badge made out of gold for my charm bracelet. It has to be one of my most prized charms. I still miss him though it has been 15 years since he died.

Nice on Black.

Thank you, Ian. Sadly, my dad passed away in March of 2005. My mother in law December 10, 2005 and my dear mom on Christmas Day in 2005. It was a very difficult year. My parents were married for 65 years. Enjoy your mum as much as you can.

Thank you for your supportive comments. Sadly, my dad passed away in March of 2005. My mother in law December 10, 2005 and my dear mom on Christmas Day in 2005. It was a very difficult time. My parents were married for 65 years. At least they are together again.
