Father's Day 2011


I've been looking at this picture of us together lately. In it I'm almost 9 months old, a silly and happy baby, sticking out my tongue, playing with my daddy. Noticing how you are watching me in the photo, I can imagine how you must have felt. I am now at the same age you were when that photo was taken and I am a parent with my own silly, happy baby (who also loves to stick out his tongue). In your face I see a similar note of wonder, pride and love that I feel when I look at my son. Being a parent, I'm beginning to realize and appreciate all the hard work, love, sleepless nights, and creative effort it took to raise us all. Thank you for all you did and thank you for being my loving Abba. I miss you so very much. - Sara
