Between a laugh and a tear...

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

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.
