Belated Father's Day Post
Me and my dad.Yup, my dad. Not my grandfather.
He was 64 when I was born.
He'd be 101 now.
As an adult (and now that he's gone) I'm thinkin'...geez, what a stud!
Fathering a kid at 64??
He was my hero.
And he spoiled me rotten (to my mother's dismay - she ruled with an iron fist).
And, theoretically, I'm his only kid.
But there are a lot of years that he was a Single.Man.
Grew up an only child.
Now I can't help but wonder...

That is the sweetest photograph and your poem truly gave us a peek at your father.
What a great tribute to your dad, Mad. He IS a stud! And what a cutie YOU are!!
I love the photograph...and the way you wrote about it. Your heart is an open book on this one.
Great tribute and lovely photograph!
That was touching and a great tribute to your wonderful dad.
a.
My father-in-law was 55 when his son (my husband) born. I'm now 50, and my son had been grown and gone for 8 years. I can't imaginge starting fresh - what courage that would take.
This is a lovely tribute to your dad.
