My father and I, spring 1951
I don't know if this was my first Father's Day, but 1951 was my father's first Father's Day, and this is definitely 1951. I've used this photograph before for Father's Day posts and I will probably use it again. It may be my all time favorite picture with my father. I'm not sure either of us looks happier in any other photo.
We've all heard the phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words," and this picture is worth at least a hundred thousand words to me. My father has been gone since 1981, but when I look at this picture we're back together in Hartford and a flood of good memories come back to me.
On this Father's Day and every day, thanks, Daddy! Thanks for love, wisdom, a love of reading and travel and a heart full of happy memories. Thanks, too, for your patience when this sweet little girl was a whole lot of handful.
I hope everyone has had a happy day and I also hope our friends in the west are keeping cool.
As ever, thanks for visiting and hugs and love.

Thanks, Carol, for sharing this special photo and memory of your late father. He would surely have appreciated seeing it.
That's a lovely tribute to your Dad, and he sounds like the best kind of Dad. Such a treasure of a photo.
Precious memories indeed!
