My Dear Dad

[Papa Charlie]

The memories that we carry of our loved ones is what keeps them alive. Beyond that, they are always with us. I lost my dad several years ago and think of him often.
My stepmother gave me his flag, I am gathering his emblems, ribbons and medals to create a display.
It is important to me, but I can imagine him saying something like, why.
Relish the memories, they are what keep them in our lives.

One of the beatitudes of Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew 5:4 "blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."

Been 28 years since my dad died. You brought back memories and I thank you He was not much of a hunter. Took him to camp in the Pa. mountains and we sat together. Out came some deer. He did not shoot but remarked...

"Some had white tails and some didn't".

A couple hours before he died I visited and he whispered to me, "Copenhagen". Gave him his snuff and left. Sister came and told me he died with that snuff in his lip.

Thanks for the memories. Hope you have some great ones of your dad.
