Twenty-One Years Gone

August 7, 1990 about noontime.  That's when I got the dreaded phone call telling me that Daddy had died due to a massive heart attack.  My sister-in-law's words were "Pack your bags.  We've lost Daddy."  Where have all those years gone?

  3. Love the overalls. My dad didn't wear them, but Grandpa and hubby did. I think my favorite picture is the last one.

  7. I just found your blog and love these pictures! The last one really brought tears to my eyes. My daddy and grandpa both wore bibs and this last pic looks so much like my grandpa. Both Daddy and "Pappy" have been gone many years and I still miss them. Thank you for sharing.
