Our backyard was like the hundred
acer woods, where I played as Daddy
watched near by and stood. Daddy also
lived out on the sea, where together we
caught all sorts of fishies. And at night
after the rains, we'd search for worms
and laugh as they made Mommy squirm.
And at night he'd tuck me into bed with
the stories he made up in his head and told,
until at last my eye's finally closed. Other
times he'd play and instrument and sing out
his favorite lullabies so softly and yet so bold.
And best of all were his big bear hugs, as he
held me so tightly making me feel so safe
and snug.
Some of your shared remembrances with your father resonate with me. So touching and nostalgic. Lovingly and wonderfully expressed. Your dearest father must have been so proud of you.
You have remembered so well your great beloved father. A wonderful tribute! A vivid depiction of your love to your father and your father's great love for his children. A picture of a happy family where there is solidarity.
