My Dad

Yup! That's Birdman alright. He's seen here at the ripe old age of 5 months 16 days. He looks to be a bundle of joy for Mom and Dad too. I thought about posting this favorite image of this threesome, after seeing fellow blogger KMac's post of Monday. Interesting too, both smiling dads are holding the babies. In this era for men of not showing to much emotion, this is a revealing image of my father. Even in his later years, you'd be hard pressed to find a tear on that cheek in public, but I saw it a few times. I can remember lots of visits to his 3rd floor apartment on Pine Street, right in the heart of the West end he loved so, and talks that divulged that comfortably, hidden softer side. Dad, I haven't forgotten those one-on-one times and your stories. Thinking of you today, on your birthday. Peace.
