It is the best way to remember them and allow those who did not know them to understand why we loved them so much.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-62928800715435141152015-04-15T13:57:47.066-05:002015-04-15T13:57:47.066-05:00Dear Emma, your father must have been a wonderful ...Dear Emma, your father must have been a wonderful man, and he would have been proud to read your loving portrayal. It must have been a shock that he died so suddenly. <br />To be remembered by those who loved him is a great way to stay in heart and memory.

The beautiful part is that I see pieces of him in his offspring. He is still here.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-58734231557737369252015-04-15T08:47:25.608-05:002015-04-15T08:47:25.608-05:00After reading this post, Emma, all I could think a...After reading this post, Emma, all I could think about was that it would have been great to see your Daddy and his lopsided smile. However, I know you do not post family photos so will go by your description. And, your pist brought back memories of my own father, as we are in NJ at my childhood home this week, clearing our stuff from my late parents home and I have come across many previousky unseen photos of him. And, what a handsome fellow he was in his 20s and 30s and of course always to me. Perhaps I will post some of these old photos in weeks to come.Beatrice P.

Not all children are fortunate enough to have a father in their lives and they miss out on so much even if they have a mother who does her best to fill the role.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-70922758829610892972015-04-14T17:48:51.772-05:002015-04-14T17:48:51.772-05:00Emma, I quite understand.

In my mind I still address his memory as Daddy, even though I'm quite a bit older than he got to be.
