I was dancing at the wedding I never had, and my fathers cologne was in the air—-if I had only had a wedding, and he had lived—-it would have been this poignant poem.

AHH!!! These are the things that form a Very, emotionally healthy women! Keep it up, and I believe that she’ll end up just about perfect! :=) If it is up to Jackson, I’ll actually be there watching that dance too! :-)

Laurie: I’m good at taking the pictures. Unloading them from the camera, not so much. : > )

The years do fly by. My oldest graduated from high school a years ago and I thought, “How can that be? He was just in preschool!” Cherish it all and take lots of pictures. Before you know it, they’ll be moving out!

@WD: No, not fading by any means. Just more of a blinking on and off at a very high rate of speed : ) I was just purely making an observation that this was a post written from the heart instead of the mind....more of the writer, businessman instead of the businessman, writer if you catch my drift. Sal’s last blog post..On Your Mark, Get Set, SCRAM!

Wendi: Here I am lamenting the loss of another tooth and you’re talking about her wedding. Sigh. Really though, thanks, I’d love to see that in her wedding album some day.

Lori: Maybe in another ten years or so it will be cool for dudes to be honest about their emotions. I’m sure a lot more dads have the feelings than are always willing to express them.

Matthew: Thanks, Matthew. I’m glad you liked it. One of these days will have to get some folks together for a poetry round-up or some such thing.

Sal: I’ll check the song out, I don’t recall having heard the title, but I could just be being dim. Of all the goings on… Sal, are you trying to tell me you think I’m fading?
: > )

GreenJello: Memories can’t get thrown away or taken away. They’re there with us until we’ve no more breath.

Mark: Thanks, Mark! Nice to meet you.

Patricia: That story is sad, Patricia. We want happy thoughts down here! Just kidding. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it.

Vered: I could be wrong, but I’m banking on it.

Karen: Thanks, Karen. How are things?

I really enjoyed this rhyme- I could just picture the two of you dancing. So beautiful and what a special memory to record in writing.

“She’ll still want her daddy’s ear, and I’ll still want my baby near.”

Amen. I am hopeful too.
