So sorry to hear of your father's loss Gillena.. my deepest condolences to you. He sounds like a wonderful and brave man.. a fire fighter.. must have had such a lot of courage for this noble occupation.
Loved the poem. My father is currently an instructor at GACA academy, he teaches aviation related subjects. I m often told to be just like him in nature :)
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Thanks for dropping in Sanaa my father passed away 1999; happy to hear your father is still alive wishing you both a lovely day
much love...
my condolences for your loss , hope for your best :)
One of the many things my Dad taught me.
__Face to face: If anyone displays a pompous attitude that, they are of a far deeper intellect, and of a much more notable status and respect than you...
SILENTLY smile inward, and accept their views as complements. You can reason that they may hold you as a threat to their ego; move onward. (60 plus years ago)
a wonderful haiku in remembrance...lost my father too in 2013...miss him very much...
Ah, sometimes the washing effects of rain are a good thing!
A timely poem...and enjoyed your reflection on your father this Father's Day.
And indeed we always miss them when they are gone....forever.

I lost my Dad in 1998...he had Alzheimer's from his early 50s to his late 60s...a painful horrible illness and end....he was the gentlest, most compassionate loving person I have ever met....and my heart breaks that he is gone....but his light shines on through me and that makes me smile again!
Happy you can smile today Donna, glad you dropped in
much love...
Hi Gillena, by example my father taught me that all people can work together.
No matter how much you loved them or talked to them when they were alive; once they have gone you still have questions for them just like you did as a child. Many of my questions would still start with the word "Why?"
ah father's day, so many fathers, happy father's day to any fathers around you dear Gillena :)
His spirit continues to leave on guiding you in every step of the way, Gillena. My father & I were not always the best of mate but I'm proud of him & grateful for everything he has done to us. Thanks for sharing your heart & your stories. Bless you!
Sometimes the weather has an uncanny knack of matching the state of our minds...i am sorry for the loss of your father..but hope there are sun filled days still

Wonderful poem, the feeling of the rain is really there.
Thanks for sharing Gillena. I like your poem and the thoughts about your father.
Mine was absent, but my grandfather stepped in and did an amazing job. I still miss him.
Hey! I love this in all of its potential meanings. My dad was a postman, but was also a volunteer firefighter and I remember him often leaping into shoes on a run out the door. His birthday, yesterday brought him to the decent age of 90.
Thanks GL
much love...

much love...
