He died of a heat stroke 31 years ago today! So be careful and drink lots of water and look for shade! Sad but I've lived longer without him than I did with him.

A bittersweet day. Thanks for the reminder!

I know how it feels. Today is my Mom's birthday and the 4th without her isn't the same. She's been gone for 7 years now, but I still miss her every day.

{{{Hugs}}} It is hardest to be without them on the special days.
Thanks for the gentle reminder to take care of what you have while you still have it.

What a sweet picture of the two of you!

Love your picture! We never forgot the ones we love!

What a beautiful picture.

Isn't it great to remember them when they were young, strong and knew everything in the world. I treasure pictures of my Dad at that age. it's such a difference from their later years with all their medical problems.
Thanks for the memories!

nice picture of you and your Dad

Thanks everyone! I love this picture of my Dad, I thought he was so handsome! Me however, looks like I have a fresh "Toni Home Perm" (I still have nightmares about those) and have been in Mom's lipstick! I still remember that day and how glad I was to have Daddy home. He worked construction and was gone for long stretches at a time.
