He was also born in 1909!<br />Thank you for sharing this tribute to your dear father with us!<br />Marie-Anne XXMarie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107777204581721076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-32535843002202220782012-11-12T11:56:00.553+01:002012-11-12T11:56:00.553+01:00Your dad was a very handsome man indeed!!

You...Hi Amanda, Your post brought tears to my eyes. Your Dad was a brave man. I lost my father two years ago, to a massive stroke. Not a single day has passed without me remembering him, missing him and shedding a tear or two, as I was Daddy's pet. Just like Preeti I started blogging to create a diversion with full encouragement from my dear brother. We donated my father's eyes, so I console myself that somewhere there is a part of my father and that he is with me in spirit. <br />I do hope you will one day share your Dad's stories with us.<br />Lots of love and hugs.Sangeethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080976907045769857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-55245200797964430712012-11-11T17:39:51.870+01:002012-11-11T17:39:51.870+01:00What a great tribute to your Dad!What a great tribute to your Dad!Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064081200654561079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-49391629602381530172012-11-11T16:55:18.504+01:002012-11-11T16:55:18.504+01:00Hello Anne

However if we turn this about a little and think that we miss them because we loved them this means they were loved in life .....some unfortunate people just fall into oblivion with no one caring. This is our tribute to our lost ones caring ,missing them and remembering them. <br />Don't be afraid to remember your father ......he's not gone he lives in your sweet memories.<br /><br />lest we forget<br /><br />Amanda xxCrafty in the Medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365932964481050936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-813874371536831792012-11-11T16:42:27.117+01:002012-11-11T16:42:27.117+01:00Hello Maria

He was not in army but he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while driving his car and got down on time saving many lives on the road. I am proud of him ! and miss him daily:(<br />He was the fittest person in our family and I am still in recovery mode from that shock. I was pushed into blogging by my husband to distract me from the depression:( missing loved ones is a crude reality of this world!<br /><br /><br /><br />Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719450107640709790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-13114861660570493292012-11-11T16:06:23.510+01:002012-11-11T16:06:23.510+01:00What a great post Amanda!
