Nik-key,
Thank you so much for sharing.
I agree with you... Your dad---HANDSOME!!!
That smile... infectious!!!

When you spoke of the butterfly... I could see it... the thought and your words gave me goosebumps....

You and your twin.... I had to do a double take... sorry for the pun...but you both look like my best friend from high school!!!!!!!!! She could be your triplet!!!!!

Please keep sharing...
Sending big but gentle hugs,

Abbie

They are lovely photos Nikki, and I too thank you for sharing.

You're so right to treasure these pictures. Sadly I have very few photos of my own mother and father, and as they both passed away around 20 years ago, I'll not be getting any more.

Sending you some hugs across the miles.

I thank you all so much

I have been working on the slide show since after his service, only breaking to go to his grave......and yes the butterfly was right there on the yellow roses I left him.......yes abbie...chills is a good word.....

At times I just sob my heart out, I can still hear his laughter, that chuckle before his face would break out in that huge grin. I am indeed lucky to have these...right now they hurt still.......but I can't seem to stop looking at them.
When the tears dry up, I find myself smiling at a memory......as is the motto here ...baby steps

I emailed this to my brothers and sisters....and wanted to share it with you.
You got me through some tears, so ...share in a smile

(((Nik-key))) Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I've had you on my mind all weekend Nikki..mailed to a post card from NY.

those photos are just precious...

thanks for sharing, nik...
