If I could give you the stars, I'd gather them inside my heart,
I'd wrap them in love and brighten your day with starlight ..

No longer here ......but forever in my heart

This photo was taken of my Dad a few short months before he died. He worked on tanks when he was in the Army and while he was in remission from Cancer ~ he helped to restore this tank ~ which he affectionately called 'Esmerelda'. Unfortunately ~ the cancer returned and took my fathers life when he was only 45 years old. There is not a day goes by when he is not thought about, talked about and missed by us all. There will forever be a DAD sized hole in my life ~ which can never be filled and an ache in my heart that will never leave.

Happy Birthday Dad ~ I miss you more than words could ever say ~
Love you forever and a day ~ your Tab XXXXXXX

That picture is AMAZING. Having lost my own father (he was 51) I can totally relate and feel the emotion in this post. You are a lovely daughter to always remember his special day. Happy Birthday, sir!!

That's sweet. I miss my dad too. I had two - one who was a parent, one who wasn't.

What a nice tribute to your dad. Dad's are an important part of our lives. My dad died at age 80 on Oct 23, 1999 after 10 months of cancer battle.
