HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY DADDY !

 Today would be my Dad's 119th birthday.

He's been gone for 39 years  and I miss him all the time.

He was so creative and a great photographer.  He loved the Lord and was the best Bible teacher.

I know I have posted this photo before but it shows what a stylish man he was.

I believe this photo is from 1931.



Happy Birthday Daddy.

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

Excellent photo. Sorry he is gone. I still miss my mom too. Sometimes I go to call her on the phone and remember that I can't. She is though, forever in my heart. And my cooking! Along with my grandmamas.

Always be kind. Yes!

What do you think he has been doing these 39 years? I am going to say ice skating. 😄 I hope there is a huge rink in Heaven.

I love that photo and your tribute to him. My Dad has been gone almost 2 years, and I think of him all the time too. It sounds like our Dad's were a lot alike, and that means we were both so blessed!

No wonder you are such a excellent photographer. It's in your genes!!! Love this picture of your Dad. I have a bin of pictures behind my recliner, just waiting for me to go through and organize them. I know I have pictures of my dad. Now you have inspired me to get into that bin and look at old pictures.

What a great vintage photo of your dad. He was a very handsome young man, and I think you look a lot like him. It sounds like you got your love of photography from him as well.

Great photo, he looks like Frank Sinatra! I think men look good in hats, not baseball caps.
