Thinking of you, Daddy

Sometimes I feel like I’m still a little girl who’s following you around. Sometimes I think I can almost catch you, but not for as long as I would like.

At the Trevi Fountain in Rome: Daddy in the 70s, me in 2011

And although I never got to know you, that doesn’t mean I can’t be proud and grateful to be your daughter.

–

Even if your father is no longer with you, you can still make him something or tell his story. And to be sure, we all know more than one father—husbands, in-laws, friends all count. So shower the dads in your life with love today. Don’t just wish them a Happy Father’s Day… make it a Happy Father’s Day!

    Such wise words… my father, who passed away 20 months ago, and I never got on. I just hope his soul is now at peace. Here is to all the dads, dead or alive, passing through or with us in spirit. Have a great Sunday x

    This post left a little lump in my throat. I was lucky enough to be able to spend a wonderful week with my dad a few weeks ago. I adore these photos of you and your dad. So beautiful.

    That was a beautiful post. I love the part about all of the dads that aren’t ours too. Excellent point. The two pictures you have, that is so neat.
