I Remember Daddy!

Today. I remember my Daddy, it would have been his 99th birthday today.  I have tried over the years to keep his memory alive in the hearts of my Children.  Telling them about him and sharing stories from my childhood.  I had to scan in these photos today and post them to show his personality.

 My favorite Family Photo from the 1960's.  I'm wearing a dress that mom made for my Big Brother's wedding. About 1963.

 I think this picture was taken at my Uncle Don's home in Moses Lake. I remember the 'beanie' I took it to school in 3rd grade, that was in 1965.  Notice the "Flour sack" dresses my sister and I are wearing.

This Picture is typical Daddy.  He loved the Leisure suits and bought them in several colors.  Because my Dress was pink he wore this Pink jacket and Plaid pants.  It was 1976 and plaid was IN!  He brought my Mother to visit during Mother's Week at Rick's College. The picture is taken in our Dorm room, 4th Dorm, top of the HILL.   My Date, (Rich Hindman) ordered the Lei for me from Hawaii.  One of our FHE brothers was from Hawaii. My Dress is the one I wore when I was in Miss Moses Lake.  I added the sleeves to it for this dance. I'm also wearing a crocheted shawl my mother made. I still have the dress and the shawl.  I wish I still had Daddy's Suit.  For our Wedding Reception he wore a Lime green suit.  

I love and miss my Daddy today and every day since April of 1980.  It's been a long time, but I believe in Eternal Life and being reunited with my Family again after this life. Our Mortal bodies may die, but our Spirit lives Eternally.
