Beautiful tribute! My Dad passed away in 1999, and while the pain eases the missing never goes away does it. Happy WW!
Nope, it never really does. I can still hear his laughter.~skt
Wonderful tribute to your dad. I enjoyed looking at all the photos.
I’m also participating in Wordless

My Daddy was pretty handsome. Get yours posted, gal…I already stopped by once!~skt
He looked like a very happy man and gentle. Have a great WW!
You have a good day, too. Daddy laughed a lot.~skt
Those are some great pics. How lucky you are to have them.
That’s the tip of the iceberg on pictures, but I thought it was all anybody could stand
~skt
that was quite lovely!!!
Thanks for stopping by, Amy. Happy WW!~skt
What a wonderful tribute.
Thank you Aldon.~skt
So lovely. What a great set of photos. And memories too!
Lots of memories, Jenn. Thanks for visiting.~skt
This is a beautiful, moving, and powerful tribute. Thank you. God bless your WW!
Thanks, Sandy. I appreciate your visit.~skt
I’m so sorry at the loss of your dad in 1994. From the pictures you posted it looks like he had a full and happy life.
1994 was a long time ago, so I’m really not “grieving.” But, today is the anniversary of the day we buried him. Thanks for the sentiments. He DID have a good life.~skt
Those are some awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing them!
I appreciate you coming by to see them.~skt
William was a kick a** dancer! Is that your Mom with him? A Navy man, dancer, and cook! What more could you ask for in a man? Bob’s pretty cute, too.
Thinking about you today, ’cause I know your memories will stir.
Yeah, Daddy & Momma were swing dancers like you wouldn’t believe. I cried last night (joy…memory..tears) as I put this together, but I’m OK today. It’s been a long time, but you never stop missing them.~skt
what an awesome and touching tribute. He looked like a wonderful Dad
He was pretty cool
~skt
What a sweet tribute to your father!
Thank you, Amy.~skt
What a wonderful WW. I love the picture of your Daddy dancind outside with your Mom? He looks so dang happy. You’ve created a great montage of your daddy, I loved looking at him as a proud young navy man to an older man who still enjoys the outdoors.
Daddy’s laugh could melt just about anybody, Tea. Thanks for visiting~skt
Not participating in WW (darn jury duty). What a nice tribute to your father. I miss mine too. Happy WW.
I bet your Daddy was a pistol, too! Sorry about jury duty~skt
Very nice.
Thanks. Have a happy day.~skt
What a great post!!!! Your dad looks so handsome in his military uniform. Thanks for sharing with us a little part of his life.
Wasn’t he handsome in that uniform? Aren’t ALL men handsome in uniform?~skt
what a handsome dad you have! loved your tribute!
i’m sure he’s pretty proud of you as well.
Thank you, Sophiagurl. He was a “looker.”~skt
Lovely photo tribute to your father. I visited your site because my url is so similar to yours and I came across it through WW.
Nice blog!
Well I’m glad you came to visit! Thanks for the kind words. Y’all come back, now.~skt
What wonderful photos and a great tribute. Happy WW
Thanks, jams. I have to pull out old photos, because I can’t take pictures the way you do! What lovely shots you get!~skt
This is a fabulous tribute post to your father. I dread the day I do something similar but will be proud to be my Pop’s daughter. Love to you x x x
PS Our Dane’s are “water phobic!” although most Danes are known to love water!
Thanks, Shaz. I hope you don’t have to make a similar tribute anytime soon! Can’t believe you don’t have Great Danes who love to swim!~skt
That was a lovely post and tribute to your dad=)
Thanks, Starrlight.~skt
What great pictures. You can tell he had a lot of energy. Thanks for sharing those. Those of us who haven’t lost a parent yet can take strength from you when it inevitably happens.
That man could dance circles around me even when he was old and gray. Thanks for visiting. I hope you don’t have to “take strength” from me for many, many years.~skt
Hey Shelly how are you?
Love the photos (as always…) – it is obvious how much you loved you father. I do hope he understood that.It is so easy to miss the obvious.
Thanks for the encouragement over at my place by the way – you’re always welcome to come and have a natter on the porch, but try and give me some notice as I would have to build one first!
It’s my birthday tomorrow (no plug intended) and my dad (and mum) gave me the cash to buy my running shoes, so no excuses any more!
Have a great WW!
WhooWhoo! Now with running shoes, I expect to hear all about a marathon! Happy Birthday tomorrow. I’ll run right over and tell you~skt
Shelly. What a sweet, sweet man. I love him. I feel like I know him. The dancing photo!! Him cooking. Thank you for sharing happy memories of him.
You WOULD have loved him, SusieJ. He was a pistol.~skt
What a beautiful tribute to a handsome man!
Happy WW!
He was pretty sharp looking, alright. Thanks for stopping by YellowRose!~skt
Beautiful.
Thank you, Shauna.~skt
Love the photos, especially the b&ws. The dancing one is amazing – so happy.
Thanks!
I’ve posted that one before, Lisa, but it deserved another go ’round.~skt
Very nice pictures! Thank you for sharing.
You’re so welcome. Thanks for dropping by~skt
Wonderful post and tribute to your dad. I miss my Dad too, he went January 18, 1999.
Everyone is invited over to my blog for a look around. Hope to see you there.
Thanks for visiting. It’s hard to lose our parents, and we miss them no matter how many years have passed. I guess I’ll always miss mine, but the heartache of it eases~skt
i miss my dad too, he just passed a few years aog….
I’m sorry, Matthew. I know it’s hard to lose them. But, keep the memories.~skt
