There is no other love like that of a parent.<br />Thank-you. My Father is 82, and married for 60 years to my Mom. We stand in awe each day of all they do, and all they impart not only to us, the 7 lucky children, but to every one who knows them.pve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571026839746911848.post-69203763112344744282009-06-04T07:03:28.219-04:002009-06-04T07:03:28.219-04:00What a lovely tribute to your father.

To share your father's life on this earthe with us is so kind of you. Never stop talking about him and you; start telling all sorts of tales, every moment you feel like it; then he will live on and be always with you till you meet again.
