MyMemories Blog is having a *#1 Dad Challenge*. My dad passed away in 1984 (6 years after this photo was taken). I really don't have many photos of Dad and I together. It's kind of sad really. He had his problems, but he tried his best, worked hard all his life, having two jobs much of the time, yet when we were little he taught all three of us kids to love nature and animals, sports and games, reading and journaling. He passed away 6 weeks before he was due to receive his first Old Age Security cheque at the age of 65. I rememeber that he had been really looking forward to getting that first cheque. RIP Dad.
I used a kit called 'Remember' (Word Art World by Jennifer), and this week's swap freebie wordart. The cribbage board and cards are from Dreamsfulfilled.

Awesome! I've never seen that picture before. You are lucky to have this. I don't have any pictures of dad and myself. Actually only a few with dad at all. I still like playing crib! lol
Thanks Lil. You were only 18 back then... I'm sure you were out galavanting that day, lol. If we come up this summer I should drag along all my old photo albums and Mom's old pics. You can have any of her's that I've already scanned (which I think may be most of them.)
