I think of Dad often, and miss him always.  Grief is the price we pay for love; certainly I appreciate how very lucky I was, not only to have such a great dad but also to get to have him around for so long!  Extra hugs going out today to two friends, Kathi and Hughie, who each recently lost their dads.

Here's the picture I took of Dad celebrating his 90th birthday back in 2009, 
just a couple of weeks before he suddenly died.


Today's Onion calendar entry reminds me of a 'joke' Dad used to tell
 (that is I thought it was a joke until I had kids of my own....)  
"I'd settle for being only half as smart as my 6-year-old thinks I am, 
and only half as stupid as my 16-year-old thinks!"
