Thankful For My Dad

David Austin 1964

I wish I could a wonderful post on our Thanksgiving trip to Mazatlan. Most of the week I was taking darling pictures and thinking of clever captions to entertain you. But I just can't get the right mood for that. We got some sad news while we were there. My brother called on Thanksgiving morning to tell us that our Dad passed away unexpectedly that morning.

He died from heart complications. We were sorrowful and shocked as there was no warning.

I love my dad.

robin, what a precious picture. Thank you for sharing it. I'm so sorry.

Dave looks like Dave, and Gabe. Don't you think?

I love this picture of Dad. I think we need to post something like this on our Bossy page. Maybe a link to his obituary.

Love you. I'm looking forward to being together soon.

Saying "I'm sorry" seems so trite in times like these but know that I truly am sad to hear such news. Sending love to you and the rest of your family.

What a terrible shock for you and your family. I am sorry to hear your sad news.
I agree...your father was a handsome man. That baby must be you because I can see the grown-up Robin in that little toddler. You are a cutie!

Your dad looks so much like Dave and Gabe. The Welch's thoughts were with you Thanksgiving day.

Jessica said...

Robin. I can't imagine. Sorry you are dealing with this. I love that picture (and the fact that you look just like him, right?)

I'll say an extra prayer for your family today, okay?

I am so, so sorry, Robin. That is a great picture.

Katrina said...

I'm so sorry, Robin.

Annie said...

Oh, my goodness. I'm so sorry Robin. My heart (and prayers, too) goes out to you and your family. He must have been an amazing man to have such wonderful daughters who turned out to be bossy sisters (and sons, too).

Robin, I wish I could give you a big hug, a warm meal and a listening ear. My Dad passed five years ago, not a day goes by that I don't think of him. But the pain is gone and the warmth is still there, I wish this for you.

Robin, I'm just now catching up on blogs, and I was so sad to read this post. I hope things are going a little better for you. You are in my prayers.
