A Fall Day


What a beautiful Fall day here in Georgia. I still can't believe we can look out our back windows and see a forest full of trees. The colors amaze me. Being raised in Florida, I didnt get to see much foliage but my heart vaguely remembers the few autumn days I spent in my birthplace:Michigan.
I can see my dad vividly throwing us in the big leaf piles. Oh, how I would love to just step back in time for a few minutes and see my dad's face again, feel his arms thrust me up in the air...and just laugh together again in the cool, crisp air.
I know I won't get to see Daddy this Fall or anymore to come...but I will keep his memory alive and as soon as our leaves fall...I will see his heir smile and laugh as I throw them up into a big pile of freshly fallen leaves.
Missing Dad, but I know I will see him again.....Kara

Kara-
I remember you Dad fondly too. He was such a great guy. I loved his laugh, it was contagious! I was sorry to hear of his passing, but happy for him all at the same time. He got to meet Jesus! I am glad that you have the fall weather to remind you of all the good times you shared.

It's been great getting to "catch up" on your comings and goings after all these years! You have a beautiful family.
