1. My dog Iggy

[Rising Phoenix]

2. he was beautiful

[Solon]

3. My Grandpa...

He's the guy who is passed out on the couch with a bunch of his buddies from high school.

Taught me how to play Blackjack and Poker and how to romance women, miss ya grandpa! :loveya:

[Rising Phoenix]

5. I love this pic

its just so great that you can be browsing the net and find a pic of your dad and grand pa in the prime of their lives having a great time......I remember when you first posted and bookmarked it.....thanks for sharing

[Solon]

8. Well, not my Dad, just my Grandpa...

I do have some pics of my Dad when he went to Germany for a business trip, but I haven't put them online or anything.

Oh, and pics of my Dad in the prime of his life? Let's just put it this way, I'm glad leisure suits went out of style, I think those pics scarred me for life! :scared:

ON EDIT: Thanks for the comments on the picture, just for clarification, the pic is of my Grandpa, from my Mom's side, and my Dad was the one who found it on the Internet.

[Rising Phoenix]

10. I see

its great that you were so close to your grandpa....I kinda missed out on the whole grandparent thing

[Solon]

11. Aww...

It sucks that you missed out on that. :hug:

I only knew my Mom's set of parents, my Dad's Father died about 7 months before I was born, and my Dad's Mother died about a year after that. The funny thing is that my Dad's Father told my Mom, when she was pregnant with me that she was going to have a "Big bouncing baby Boy". I don't know how well I bounced, but I was born 12 pounds, 0 ounces, that's pretty big! :D

[Rising Phoenix]

13. damn....your poor mom....12 pounds

my mom's parents both died when I was very little,in their early 50's I have a coupld of really nice memories of them. My dad's mom was a wonderful, strong woman who I wish I got to know better, but financial problems between familes after my dad died made visits few and far between. My dad's dad was a mean abusive drunk, who didn't even go to my dad's funeral....he died two or three years ago, but I don't even think he knew my name.......your grandpa looks like a fun guy......and again, I really love the pic.....you should get it framed

[applegrove]

4. My Grandmother and a few of my friends.

[Rising Phoenix]

6. yes

the friends I miss too.....

[terrya]

7. I miss my dad, also.

Taken from us by cancer 4 years ago. Way too soon.

[Rising Phoenix]

9. I'm so sorry

My dad died at age 46 while playing golf.....14 years ago on April 26.....sometimes I miss him so much it hurts.....like tonight
he always said he wanted to die on a golf course, or having sex, prefrerably both.....

12. I miss family that has passed, but mostly, I really miss Kevin.

Kevin was my second true love. I got divorced and dated a few people but then I moved across country to Cali and met Kevin almost in the same week. He was just such a free spirit and everything I was but had forgotten about. My life previous to that had been all about working and going to college and tech school and taking care of two pre-schoolers and suing the bastards trying to bring me down, including my ex-husband but Kevin was a breath of fresh air breathed into my life and he was such a trip! He'd go swimming in the ocean every morning at 6 AM, before breakfast and he'd catch and save injured pelicans and doves and he'd cook breakfast, bacon and Chirizo and eggs and sew and he loved music and... my gawd... he was such a free spirit and he reminded me of me... all that I had had to put aside with all my responsibilities. He was a gem. I miss him a lot.

[Rising Phoenix]

14. how did you lose him, if you don't mind me asking

there is one friend in particular I miss.....very much

[Breeze54]

15. He had proposed to me and we were celebrating and having a party and band practice

and he and his brother and our best man left the party to go get another Amp and more beer and they were hit head on on I-5 and they crashed into a bridge column and all were killed instantly... except Kevin. They kept him alive for a week and then pulled the plug but he had donated his organs on his license, so they did that. His poor mother lost her only sons and she wanted me to move in with her but I left the state. It was just to much to take.

:hug: to you.

[Rising Phoenix]

16. how horrible

I'm so sorry for you.....cheesy line from titanic.....a woman's heart is an ocean of secrets

[Breeze54]

19. It was a horrible ending for us all but

the memories are sweet. He was just so fucking cool! ;)

He enriched my life and my kids lives. I'm happy to have known him.

[auntAgonist]

26. ..

:hug:

You were fortunate to have had him in your life as he was fortunate to have had you.

[Breeze54]

43. I'm getting a little drunk but your quote

is sending me into another orbit. Maybe back to the orbit I miss so much...

"When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what is left"

- Sufi epigram -

Thank You. :hug:

Now I'll have to "edit" because I forgot to copy the quote... again!

SEE, Truth....??? (I forget your DU name but I know it when I see it) *sigh*

[stuntcat]

17. I miss my Dad too

:cry: If I'd known he wasn't gonna be around I would have spent more time with him. The Beatles were about his favorite band.

The one of you and your dad together is sooooo sweet!

[Rising Phoenix]

22. thanks

it was my 13th birthday and I hate how I look in it....but we look so muc alike in it that I added it to my frame....

sorry to hear about your dad
my dad loved the beatles too and country music

[stuntcat]

49. right on, country music!

my Dad too :headbang: I miss him..

[Ava]

18. one of my favorite songs *hugs*

[Rising Phoenix]

23. thanks babe

[OhioChick]

20. I Miss My Father, Terribly.

He died in his early 40's of primary bone cancer. Not a day goes by that I don't miss and think of him. I cry now, as I type. I loved him so.... :cry:

His favorite song:

[IndianaJones]

21. Jerry Garcia. nt.

[Rising Phoenix]

24. he was a cool cat

I had tickets for one of his last shows, but my mom made me sell them so I could help drive the family to MA from PA after my dad died....my little bro through such a hissy she let him stay and go to the show, they'll be coming to boston in Oct.....damn it

[harmonicon]

25. many many people...

... and my cats. Luckily my folks are still alive and (relatively) well. An uncle of mine just died a few weeks ago, and I'm pretty upset about it, but it's not so life changing, because I only saw him every few years.... it's hard as hell on my dad though. He hasn't been this sad about anything since his mom died 20-some years ago. *sigh* sad stuff.

[erinlough]

[NewJeffCT]

48. my dad does as well

but, he's grown on me over the years as well.

[blonndee]

29. My grandma.

She was a wonderfully funny, patient, kind-hearted woman. She was married to her high school sweetheart, my granddad, for more than 50 years, and when he got sick, she cared for him at home until the day he died of Alzheimers. She then went on to live 8 more independent, active years, running a farm and ranch and managing race horses on her own, with plans to "go and do" every single day, including the day she died. Besides all those things, she was the only other Democrat in my family and the only one I could call the day Kerry conceded and she understood why I had to talk to her and why I called in sick to work that day. It's been three HARD years without her.

[Roon]

30. I miss my friends

ever since Caller ID came along less and less of my friends would answer my calls, until I got to the point where I won't call them anymore. I know that says a lot about me, but still...Caller ID has cost me a lot friends and it sucks.

Don't get me wrong, I still have a few friends who will pick up and answer my calls..just not as many before.

[Rising Phoenix]

32. that sucks

I would answer anytime you called

[Roon]

34. Thanks!

I'm feeling a bit better....its funny the things that make you sad, I was wondering what my dad would think of my new tat and it made me really sad, cause I think he would like it

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Only one...

Always one...

And my heart...because it went with him.

[Breeze54]

37. I know this doesn't mean anything, coming from me but

40. I can't imagine how much you heart

[driver8]

38. I miss my Dad...he passed away this past February.

It still doesn't seem real. I expect to call home and have my father answer the phone and shoot the breeze with me for awhile.

I really miss him.


My Mom and Dad




My Dad (in the middle)

[Rising Phoenix]

41. so soon

most of the time you will feel fine, eventually, but, every now and then some stupid little thing like a new tattoo will make you miss him like crazy :hug:

[Breeze54]

42. You're father reminds me of 'Cool Hand Luke'!

What a handsome guy your father was! I'll bet you look just like him. ;)

I'm sorry I didn't know about your loss in February, driver8. :hug:

You have a lot to be proud of... seems like a very talented man.

Thanks for sharing those great pictures! :hug:

[driver8]

44. Ha Ha -- that is quite a compliment! My father would be pleased...

My wife says I have my father's eyes...but the rest of my face looks like my Mom's.

He was a handsome guy and pretty cool -- If I do say so myself!

[Breeze54]

45. Then you got the best of both....

You are lucky! ;)

[Fox Mulder]

54. My mom's mother (we called her Nanny)

She passed away in 1993, but I still dream about her (and the house she lived in) all the time.

I also miss my cousin, who took his own life in 2001. I take comfort in the thought that they are together now.

[BarenakedLady]

55. My nana

She just passed on Jan 24th at 102 years old.

I also miss my grandfather (her husband) who died in 1990. I think of him everytime I'm in the garden. He taught me everything I know. Grandpa Joe.
