Got to feeling a little blue thinking about Dad today. I was talking to the gals at work about my carving and thought that Dad would have enjoyed my interest in it. It could have been something we could have shared because Dad had tried his own hand at carving during his life. Thinking about it made me feel a little blue.
The gals at work tried to convince me that maybe it was Dad who was pushing my interest in woodburning and carving. Idon't know, perhaps,it is a sweet thought anyway.
Dad never finished a crucifix for me. I'm always a little disappointed about that. By the way, MI loves that horse you did. What she likes to do is taking etchings of it. She uses a pencil and paper and gets the outline of the horse.
ReplyDeleteSay a prayer for Dad and go to your happy place. Dad knows you love him. He loved you too. Perhaps he saw something of himself in you. Perhaps that is why Dad was so hard on you at times. I know that for me I'm kinda hard of DQ because I see myself in her and I want her to be better than me. Which of course isn't fair to her. But that's what happens from time to time. I want more and better for DQ... for all my girls.
