Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad's birthday.
This photo is of him and #3boy, taken just over a month before he died following a massive stroke.

Grief still chokes me. The pain of losing him is a penetrating, open and still bleeding wound that cuts to the very depths of my soul.

I always was a Daddy's girl.

As a child when I was miserable, grumpy or sad Dad would sing the same song to me. At the time it was very annoying.

Now I think of it and smile
