God bless my dad...today is the day of his passing. I can hear him now..... "HI YA KID"...or HI YA MAUDE. I used to call him every single day to see how he was doing...and he would say that with such enthusiasm.
I miss him so much!

My dad is still living. He's 77.
I remember, growing up, that he wasn't always gentle. He was an Army sergeant & would often give orders, such as, "Clean your room! Now!", to my brothers & me as if we were new recruits. Or he'd say, "I don't want you to hang around with So & So". Dad was strict at times but would also do anything to help any one of us if we were in trouble.
He's mellowed a lot over the years & now that I'm older, I understand him a lot better.
One thing I can hear him saying in my mind is, "Never be ashamed to ask for help".

Listen to the sound of the laughter of the children in the wind, and smell of the barbecue smoke over the family gatherings.
My father is reaching out to me in thoughts, dreams and prayers every waking moment, because the distances between people are not measured by miles, but by the love and memories that are captured in their hearts. My parents live in europe, I live in california, and although there is a half a planet of distance between us, we are actually much closer in our hearts, than most people that live next door to their parents.
Love transcends geographical distances, even ethereal distances, love is so strong, powerful and holy that the ones you most dream about are closer to you even if they are a few planets and heavens away.
I take a deep breath in the wind that brings me back my beautiful childhood memories, inhaling those happy, carefree, laughter-filled unmatchable years, and see the moment my dad was teaching me how to ride a bicycle, patiently and protectively running beside me, like it happened only a moment ago.
That is what makes life so magical, a chain of incomparible moments linked together to form the stories that we will tell to our grandkids someday. There is so much we go through in life but when we look back, the stories we will be sharing when we are gathered around a bonfire with our loved ones, while somebody is strumming the guitar in the background, will be the ones made up of those precious moments, like the one when my dad came home with a little bunny in his arms that he brought to me and my then-baby-brother as a pet, or the time when my parents were clicking away trying to immortalize my twirls when I was performing in a ballet recital as a little girl.
So much love and beauty, despite all the things around in life, that it makes my heart want to explode in the intensity of those memories that we might sometimes have taken for granted.
I wish you a wonderful father's day, my friend, and a happy birthday to your dad. How did your singing at the church go? I bet your daddy was bursing with pride while watching you from up above.
Cheers.

My Dad and I didn't get along very well when I was growing up. When the first day of 8th grade came he sat me and my sister down, and told us he and my Mom were getting a Divorce! (I wanted to just die) My whole world as I knew it fell apart. Mom ended up with full custody.....Dad moved out and started a new life with another woman. Soon we moved into a apartment and were on our own just the 3 of us. Life went on.....Mom worked we went to School, I went to my 8th grade dance and met a boy, His name was Danny it was love at first sight we were inseprable over the summer, it was as if I had known him my entire life (gosh I am a romantic). Let me tell you that was the best summer of my life nothing ever physical just kissing and hand holding and lots and lots of cuddles! as I finished the 8th grade, the . Another bomb Mom was leaving Los Angeles to move to Fresno, a town I never herd of. I was devistated to say the least I did not want to leave! but Mom had other ideas and we all ended up here. I met some more boyfriends of course... but none really compaired to the one I had left and the boyfriends well they just flew away! I met my Husband in June of 1986 after a few months we married in August of that same year started a family 5 years into that marriage that spanded over 20 years. Then another bomb exploded big time! There was a fight he wanted to hurt our oldest! I had never been so scared....... but I never never let him hurt her either. I told him to leave I filed for Divorce he had it coming and I was going to give it to him. Then who enters my Dad Oh!! he was so proud, and so there for me! He stood by me guided me, and did not even question my motives for doing the things I had done in the past. We mended fences burried the past and started over fresh (sorry the writer is crying now) My oven went out I was having health problems "Who" was there Daddy! The one person I thought was lost.....finally made me see that I was completly wrong indeed! And for that I will be eternally greatful!

Father:
"you are a strong woman, of shining spirit. The world doesn't understand greatness like this. Do what you love with all your heart. Don't be concerned with what others say or don't say.
Enjoy your children. Remember the things your elders have said, and if you take their loving advice to heart, just know that what they tell you is from their experience, and shows more about their journey than yours....take the LOVE they have to offer by caring to speak to you of deeper things.
Rest.
you are not a bear, you are a gentle woman. you don't have to carry the weight for all of those you love.I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART."
He said these things to me when I spoke with him 2 months ago. I had a dream I stabbed a bear to death with a butcher knife........needless to say it shook me up...I needed to talk with my dad....
all my love dad,
soul shine

"Why don't you go get a real job?"
[He's very much alive, and still says this from time to time.]
"Don't be in a hurry to collect things. The things you own will come to own you. Your possessions will possess you."
"If you have a golden opportunity to make a friend, then make a friend."
