But your photo is gorgeous - even her pouts are cute! Happy birthday to your little sweet girl - what a lovely milestone to be celebrating together, amongst all the difficulty of your Dad's decline.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352341442556433375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-63496804124045232482011-12-07T05:19:03.299-08:002011-12-07T05:19:03.299-08:00I can imagine the pain you must feel contemplating...I can imagine the pain you must feel contemplating the tribute to your Dad. My heart breaks for you. I wrote my Dad's obituary, but it was after he died (he died unexpectedly). I was fueled with emotion and the words just flowed from brain to paper. I still think of it to this day. <br /><br />I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR HOLIDAY CARD!! Great idea. You and DH are so gifted! Your art, style, music, are a step above the rest, always fueled by love. Those babies are so adorable. Cheers to your daughter and son for marking their first year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-9755281046793930652011-12-07T03:42:41.449-08:002011-12-07T03:42:41.449-08:00You are able to express yourself through writing s...You are able to express yourself through writing so well... I'm sure anything you have written (or 'thought-written') is definitely worth reading whether it's marinated fully or not! <br />I'm sorry about your dad and the loss you've suffered (and are yet to suffer). I know first hand what strokes do to a family and it hurts my heart for you. <br />Your picture is awesome and expresses it wonderfully- love...SillyHillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10856854547650157709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-73157363169245141202011-12-05T20:36:20.786-08:002011-12-05T20:36:20.786-08:00What a beautiful holday photo, and happy birthday ...What a beautiful holday photo, and happy birthday to your sweet little girl.

It's a heartbreaking thing to do, but when the time came, I found that I was also grateful for the opportunity.<br /><br />I love the photo - what a great idea! Hopefully we'll have a reason to do something similar next year...<br /><br />Also, I was at DQ the other day and thought of you. Have you tried their Candy Cane Chill blizzard (crushed candy canes and chocolate flakes)? If you try it, hopefully you'll like it more than the Girl Scout Thin Mint one I recommended a couple years ago. :-)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564075022074996137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-73806710292802185452011-12-04T17:33:30.001-08:002011-12-04T17:33:30.001-08:00Happy birthday to that lovely little girl.

I wish he could be present to enjoy his grandkids, see you become a mom, and just do the things he loved so much. I wish I could write that it will get easier- but it won't. No more reading the Christmas story, crosswords, or even simply enjoying the quiet together knowing he is just happy to have you there. It is so, so hard. Praying you find a way to feel connected to him and he to you and your children.<br /><br />BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-82060247170499255222011-12-02T18:59:24.865-08:002011-12-02T18:59:24.865-08:00Im sorry about your dad, i can only imagine how di...Im sorry about your dad, i can only imagine how difficult thanksgiving and the other holidays will be.
