Father's Day

Father's Day For many years I have had only one parent; who has been mother and father to me. She is the best parent in the world, if there was a trophy for the best parent of the year, she would win by a landslide. I have received many gift's in my life from her and lost them all, but I have kept the memories of them all, but the best gift she ever gave me ,was my Father I knew not about who he was, but I got a chance to know him. He loved me dearly I found that I am a lot like him. I only knew him for a short time, but it seems like a life time for me. I miss him so very much, he gave me all his love that he had left, trying to make up for lost time. Than he passed away. R.I.P. Dad...

This very sad, but at least you got to meet him. The world is not so big after all. You are blessed that you still have a mother...Love and hugs... Lucilla
