Memorial Day

I was not sure what to title this post....I thought, "Remembering Dad"?....I haven't forgot, I remember him everyday. "Tribute to Dad"?....he wouldn't want this to be his tribute. Pictures of him at his viewing and funeral. So I just put Memorial Day....that is what it is. A day to reflect on loved ones lost, a day to pay respect? I have not been to the cemetery since the day my dad was buried, I guess today would be a good day to make my first trip.
Mom bumped into my dad's hairdresser a week or so ago. He asked how dad was doing, he hadn't seen him for awhile because he been working up at the windmills in Wyoming. He had been cutting my dad's hair for 20 years or so. My mom was caught off guard and had to tell him what happened. He felt terrible, he had no idea. Mom said tears were in his eyes and he was speechless. They were friends. Dad had done some heating and a/c work for him. Somehow it makes me feel comfort to know dad was loved by so many and we are not the only ones who's hearts have been broken. He was so sad he missed the funeral. He wanted mom to send a copy of his obituary to him. She was going to tell him to look at my blog for pictures. I have wanted to post them but haven't yet. Now I have one more reason to do it.
I need to do this for Shar. My pictures are not saved digital on my computer. I miss her too, very much.
I miss you dad, I still love you. I only have two words to describe my feelings.......not fair.

First slide is the viewing, second the funeral.
