Daddy at 8 months
Daddy at about 18
January 21, 1899 is the birth date of the best man I ever knew. I know you would not find anyone who would disagree with me.
My Dad was not a big talker but he did manage to say what had to be said.
I never saw my Dad angry. He did sometimes get a little irritated but the most he ever said was, "Now I wish you hadn't gone and done that or said that." He never spanked me in my whole life when I am sure that sometimes I needed it!
My Dad has been gone for many years but I still feel his presence and love as if he were here.
I hope he has a very happy birthday in his heavenly home and he will forever have them there! Daddy, I love You!
Grandpa's quote is one of my favorites and I often pass it along..."The less you say, the less you have to take back!" He sure was a wise man. nh
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Grandpa -- I always enjoyed getting into a lively political debate with him. I'd like to discuss our current Democratic President!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that even though Daddy was a staunch democrat he just might turn over in his grave if he knew what happened this past election.
