Mirror I look into the mirror, and see the eyes of my father The hard lines, the blackness the joys, and the sorrows that were his As I gaze I come to understand I feel his love, his purpose his life and his pain And I know he walks with me Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller |

I'm so glad Kethry started a celebration of Father's Day. Tomorrow will mark the 14th year since I lost my Dad. I think I'll join you and Kethry, if I may, in celebrating my father today. Who says it only has to be one day a year, anyway? Thank you...this was good, and now I have a tear in My eye... |

Eddie, it seems that even at the bottom of the world we can teach them something even if it's a timing thing. Lovely poem Lynne Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Eddie Interesting to see a parent in our own mirror..I see my mother in mine and I understand her more with each reflection. |

Yes, how true Eddie. He does walk with you…always, and everywhere. Do you ever wonder what they do up there in heaven? I do. I think my mom’s organizing golf games. Does your dad play?? Maybe she’ll get him out on the links. You can never win or lose |
