I have no special card or creation to share today.
Today, I dedicate my blog to my dad. 9 months ago today I lost my dad. This will be my first holiday season without him and it weighs heavy on my heart.
My dad was a wonderful man. He knew everyone in our small town. He was a local businessman born and raised in our town. He always had a kind word and a helping hand for anyone and everyone. He was truly one of those people who would give you the shirt off his back.
I was a “Daddy’s girl” from day one. He was the one I could always count on. He was always there, no matter what, no matter how old I was or what I needed. He was and always will be my hero.
I could share countless memories with you about my dad, but the tears would wipe out my keyboard. So, instead, I will share these two pictures.
This is he and I at his surprise 80th birthday party.

And this is the last time we ever danced together.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with all that your heart desires!

Awww Michelle im sooo sorry hun, I know its sooo hard when we loose the ones we are sooo close too. I lost my dad when I was 11 and that was one of the hardest times in my life. I too was very very close to my dad, and even now as im 39 its still hard for me at times. Anyways I love the pics of you and your dad, and just remember the memories are something that you will always hold on to. I love all the memories I have with my dad, and those are what help keep you going!!! God bless you hun!!!

What sweet pictures and a nice tribute to a man that was obviousley very special! Hugs to you.
What a nice reminder.
And a great way to honor your dad.
Oh Michelle, here I am catching up, and your beautiful post is my first one! I know that Thursday was hard. I am so sorry. Be proud that he was a man you could honor, that you are teaching your sons to be like your dad, and that they had a wonderful example! They already are 2 young men to be proud of so I know his legacy is being carried on in them!
