I wanted to post this earlier in the day, but I have had one of the worst migraines I've had in a while. I am disappointed that it wasn't up earlier, and with the way I feel, I am not going to do it justice.
My Dad would have been 72 today. I feel so blessed to have him as a father. He always gave such a wonderful example of parenting, but also of how a husband should treat his wife. My parents had a beautiful marriage that truly had God at the center of it. It really came as no surprise that they died 19 months apart as I am sure they could not wait to be together again.
My Dad also had such a strong faith. He was a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination shortly before his death.
Daddy was a wonderful father and Nonno (grandfather). His presence is still felt in our family. He has two grandsons named after him (my son, Peter is one), and quite a few took Peter for their Confirmation names.
Happy Birthday, Daddy! I love you!

Such precious memories. You were a very blessed person to have had such an outstanding father and parents.
Hi Therese,
I miss my dad so much, too. Thank you for sharing about your dad. He sounds like a wonderful father.
Have a great weekend,
Blessings,

oh Therese, this is a beautiful tribute to your father.
It must have been hard to loose both parents so close together. I am sure though they are both up there in Heaven praying for you and your family.
Oh, happy birthday! Thank you for sharing. ((hugs))
