thank you for reading and commenting on Father's Day Wish. My dad died in 1970 when i was 27, my wife didn't get to meet him, but went to his funeral, the first time she saw him was in his coffing. we were never close until the last nine years, then i did not see him the last 6 months of his life, to bad about your dad, having that painting is good, and good thing you had it done before he died.

James, I couldn't afford to have a painting done, but hired a professional photography studio. Many photos were taken and I had to choose the one I liked best. After I shared them with my sister, she said she liked the same one best as well.

A wonderful write, as well as informative too! I can't imagine her embarassment when this happened. The poor thing. I think you got it right that it was a very lonely time for her! Good luck in the contest!

That sure must have been such a shocking time in her life, but you know what? I am happy for her in a way that at least her husband was exposed but such a shame that she had to undergo through all that... this is such a unique take on Chris' contest, blind sided indeed ;) Wish you the best, Carolyn :) hugs

I thought the expressions cheater revealed applied to her aand as a result she was a lonely star. May be I was incorrect in my reading, Carolyn

Poor Sandra - it must be embarrassing for her. Clever tetractys : )

Yes, it had to be humiliating, Jack. She won the Oscar for "The Blind Side" and was actually being blindsided herself. Oddly, Bullock earlier starred in a film called "Hope Floats" in which a woman's cheating husband is exposed in public on a TV show. Bet she never dreamt this would happen to her.
