Your words are paint on canvas and that was a beautiful portait of farmhouse memories and of your Dad.<BR/>Banks took that photo just as your Mom was telling me all about the renovation that was starting just 2days later. I think he definitely shares some of Aunt and Mom's photography talents. On many past visits to the farm, I'd wander outside and gaze at the unfinished foundation and wonder what it would have looked like had his plans been seen through to completion. Soon, we'll all know first hand...what a blessing.

I've been having moments lately where I really do feel his presence. I know he's proud of the progress our family's making.<BR/><BR/>love.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853825139435301603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308001618598887827.post-47717113940752464632008-12-13T05:07:00.000-08:002008-12-13T05:07:00.000-08:00You tell it Sister!!

Thank you for your homage to the homeplace and to our father, may he rest in peace...<BR/><BR/>You have an amazing way of putting thoughts into words better than anyone else I know.<BR/><BR/>Your words speak for me, as well.<BR/><BR/>Last week I dreamed that I looked out of the window of the trailer and saw the "lights on" in the "upstairs" of the farmhouse. It was night time and dad was up there working away, like we've known him to do all of our lives... The renovation was well underway and he was there, long after the other workers had gone home, diligently putting in his hours.<BR/><BR/>I believe that he is there... without a doubt.<BR/><BR/>Let us never forget how proud he was of that farm and what we have been taught about humility, hard work and family because we were privileged to grow up there.<BR/><BR/>I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308001618598887827.post-41282904801225072372008-12-13T03:32:00.000-08:002008-12-13T03:32:00.000-08:00wow, what an unbelievable turn of events. i'm sorr...wow, what an unbelievable turn of events. i'm sorry for your loss this year. how amazing that your mom is going to bring your dad's dreams to fruition, cant wait to see the progression of pics.<BR/><BR/>Peace be with you and your family this Christmas.Beyond Blessed in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387120008402933869noreply@blogger.com
