Sad Anniversary

This was actually taken two mornings ago, but I have nothing else for today. The 13th of July marks 29 years since I lost my dad to a brain tumour. He was only 50, younger than I am now. He never saw me get married, or emigrate to NZ. I look at this picture of our view, and know he would have just loved to visit us here. Makes me feel very sad.

So sorry about your anniversary. Your dad would have been very proud of you and, you're right, he would have loved to visit you here.

This is lovely. It has a lovely mystique to it.

Absolutely stunning and a lovely tribute to your Dad. My Dad died when I was only three years old so I do know how you feel about your Dad missing out on events in your life. I am sure he will be with you in spirit. fav

That is a beautiful photo. It doesn't matter how many years go by, you never forget. I lost my mum at age 50 as well from breast cancer. It was 40 years ago. I still miss her a lot.

Beautiful capture! I deal with loss by thinking we are being watched by our loved ones 😊
