Dad holding my son.

My father passed away in 2006 and I miss him very much. He and I became very close during the last year of his life during his fight with Cancer. I have the photo display I did for his funeral hanging up so I see him every day.

Today is the day to do something special with your Father, and do not forget to take photos, so you can treasure the day forever.

I would like to wish all the father’s out there a Happy Father’s Day.
