I know your pain, our son would have been 44 on July 4 th. We lost him six years ago. We celebrate each year with his two beautiful children, ages 10& 12,with a cake and candles, then off to the fireworks!

Aaaah what a sad story. Thank you for reminding and caring for all of us so this does not happen to others. What a handsome man. I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

Beautiful photo, wonderful memories!!!

I like you have been without both my parents longer than I got to be with them... my dad since 1977 and mom since 1985. I dreadfully miss them... but treasure the memories!!!

I lost my grandmother on July 4th 25 years ago. I was pregnant with my son. I think of her when I'm watching the fireworks each year.

I love your picture - it made me cry.

What a sweet photo...I miss my folks too.

Sorry for your sad day. But when you look at that great picture you know there was happiness and love!!!

Oh so sad. I am sorry. I lost my dad when he was 58..way to young to go. Still have mom who is 93 now but really fading. Memories are wonderful things. Thanks for the reminder.

I know what you mean. 28th of June was 30 years since Daddy died at the age of 44. I was 20 years old. I've now lived longer than he did.
