Great shots and memories. This is my first Fathers Day without my Dad. Its been pretty tough. At least we know there are angels looking over us. Happy WW and thanks for stopping.
Gabriel, this a great tribute to your father. I don't think I could do this, Dad died a year ago last March, so this is my second year without a father. Mrs. Jim's father died when she was seven, she has not had a father for a long time.Happy WW!..
I can find nowhere to email you - so I shall leave you another comment. As far as the watermark on my photos, I use Photoshop Elements. I believe there's an easier way to do it, but I don't know what it is, so this works for me.If you want more info, you can email me at bunny dot trails at yahoo dot com.:D
Nice Tribute to Dad! I invite you to participate in <>href="http://atributetomydad.blogspot.com/" >Tribute Project<>... hope you can participate.. :-)I can post this post in Tribute to Dads site, or you can compose another special post about your Dad to be included in the < HREF="http://atributetomydad.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Tribute to Dads<>Looking forward to hear from you! Happy WW, mine is up at < HREF="http://ruangsudut.info" REL="nofollow"> Rooms in my heart<>
Bonito homenage a tu padre. Sabes, me dan nostalgia este tipo de post, me quedé sin papá siendo muy pequeñita.Un beso!P.D. Gabriel, he puesto un top comentators en mi blog pero no me acaba de gustar, porque no enlaza los link de los comentaristas. ¿Me puedes informar donde te hiciste el tuyo? Gracias.
Such a sweet tribute to your father, Gabriel. I have both of my parents living with me for the last 2 years and it' such a blessing to get to spend this time with them. And oh, the stories my Dad tells! His memory is much better than mine!
That black white with the little boy running holding onto to his father's hand has to be you! A lovely tribute. It hurts when they go, but I dont think they really stay gone.
Gabriel, that's a wonderful tribute to your father. I think a lot about my own departed father as well, this time of year. Enjoy your memories.Tink *~*~*< HREF="http://MyMobileAdventures.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">My Mobile Adventures *~*~*<>
My condolences. A picture is worth a thousand words. This is a beautiful tribute. I can see what a loving spirit your father was in all this photos. I'm sure he will continue to watch over you.
Excelente post!!Me pirateo tu buenisima idea y tambien voy a hacer un post de mi viejo para este dia del padre.Me apena que ya no este con ustedes.Que gusto verlo en Toronto, al pie de la CN Tower.Se vei feliz de haber ido a visitarte.SaludosArturo
Gabriel,Se me hizo un nudo en la garganta y se me empañaron los ojos. Me gustó mucho tu post.Me dió mucha nostalgia también, mi papá se fué la noche anterior al día del padre, ya hace 15 años.
My answers to the comments in Spanish:<>Fafa<>, me alegro de que justo hayas visitado el blog para este post. Tengo fotos muy lindas de Papá que te voy a enviar pronto. La última la escaneé de una diapositiva ayer.<>Lina<>, muchas gracias. Lamento que tú tampoco tengas a tu padre cerca. Con respecto al top commentators, ya te contesté en tu blog, pero por las dudas: el mío lo hago a mano. Todas las noches!<>Hector<>, gracias por tu comentario. Al día de hoy mis hijos todavía me preguntan por qué yo no lloré cuando mi viejo murió. Creo que es porque hice el duelo desde el momento en que me dí cuenta que se moría (la nochebuena del 2005) y tal vez por eso no me shockeó tanto su muerte, por traumática que fue... Pero que lo extraño, lo extraño horrores. Fue mi mejor amigo, y quien me introdujo a la música, y eso no es poco.<>Arturo<>, me parece excelente que le dediques un post a tu viejo. Con respecto al viaje de mi Papá y Cristina (su esposa) a Canadá, eso fue en el invierno de 2005 (menos de un año antes de su muerte); pasaron un mes y medio en casa de mi hermano en Virginia y un mes y medio en casa. Sabes que? Yo pude ver cómo la vida de mi padre hacía 'pico' en ese momento, y el me lo dijo, fue tal vez el momento más feliz de su vida, porque conocer USA y Canadá había sido siempre su sueño. Ya había estado en USA una vez, pero en este último viaje también se dio el gusto de comprobar en primera persona qué bonito era Canadá (en especial Waterloo, ciudad a la que amó como lo hago yo) y lo bien que vivíamos. Mi viejo y Cristina disfrutaron este viaje muchísimo, lo que para mí fue un gran consuelo (me lo repetía constantemente, incluso un día antes de morir).<>Lorena<>, lamento muchísimo lo de tu padre... Como conté más arriba, yo tuve una reacción diametralmente opuesta a la del resto de la flia con respecto a su muerte, pero aún me carcome el hecho de que no puedo hablarlo con mis hijos, porque son muy chiquitos aún, y hay cosas que no entenderían... incluso es difícil escribirlo aquí, porque sé que me leen... :-) La verdad es que ando medio bajoneado estos días, y ya me estoy dando cuenta del por qué...
My -shorter- answers to the comments in English:<>Bunny trails, Napaboaniya, Ellen B, Sandy Carlson, Julia Smith<>, thank you for your kind comments.<>Lori<>, It's hard, and I totally feel for you. Your dad will be in my prayers and thoughts this weekend too.<>Carrie, Indrani<>, yes I do miss him a lot. I mean, I am somewhat used to the idea of not having him around since I was 11. But at least I could talk to him on the phone... But I still talk to him many times, through the songs he taught me.<>Jim<>, it's hard for me as well, but it's my way to deal with it. You know, I haven't even had the chance to visit his grave... It's going to take time until I get that sensation of closure.<>Bunny trails<>, thanks for coming back! I will check out Photoshop Elements, I love the way you watermark your pictures.<>Roger, Eastcoastlife, Randall, Will<>, thank you all.<>Dawn<>, I'm sorry for your loss. It's tough, isn't it?<>bns<>, I understand. With the time, you get used to the notion of not having him around, but you still miss him. Thank God for pictures and videos.<>Trinity<>, I am absolutely going to participate. I will send you my tribute between tonight and tomorrow. Maybe I will just link to your blog on Sunday.<>Jientje, Jams o Donnell, cliktrik, dzoi<>, thank you.<>willthink4wine<>, I agree. Having my dad living with me for a month and a half in 2005 allowed me to re-discover him as a person. You would say we got to know each other again. My kids complained that he would never stop singing! :-)<>Mar, fernweh, lifecruiser,digital flower pictures, kelly c<>, thank you all.<>sherrie<>, of course that little kid struggling to walk is me! :-)<>june<>, I was planning to keep all the pictures in chronological order, but then I realized that there was one that was perfect for closing the post, and that's why I left it there.<>Tink, Steven and Aisha, Dark angel<>, thank you.<>Kimmie<>, I'm so very sorry. I will keep you and your father in my thoughts this Sunday.<>Janetoile28, Jenny the bloggess, Shannon, Erin<>, I really appreciate your comments. Thank you.<>Mygoodfinds<>, as I said before, thanks God for photos and video.<>Stephanie, Keri, Annie, Raven, Red lotus mama, Gigi<>, thank you. Raven, I'm sure he's watching over us. And most importantly, he's happy and proud of his five children, he told me that the very day he died.<>Anonymous<>, so sorry you didn't leave your name. Thanks for commenting, and yes, it's always bittersweet.<>The teach, Mary Beth, My goodness, Robyn Jones, Starrlight<>, thank you all.
That was very touching, Gabriel. Your father looks like a very kind man. My Dad died in 1999, on July 11th. I remember the last Fathers Day that we had, and it was so bitter sweet. We knew that he would not be around for another one, but we still had him that day. I miss him so much. Our family has fallen apart because of him, and nothing is the same. Still, there isn't much that I would change. He was terminally ill and had suffered for sooo long. It will get easier. I'm sure that you feel that sense of closure when you get a chance to visit his grave. I hope so :)
Oh wow. What a touching WW post. I love that second shot in black and white--how amazing! Beautiful Wordless Wednesday. Happy Fathers day to your father.

ReplyDeleteI'm always captivated when I see youthful pictures juxtaposed against pictures of old age. How one became the other...a shared event.
