Six Month Anniversary

It's hard to believe it's been six months since Dad died.

Here are just a few pictures of me with my daddy through the years.

Okay, I know Lisa is also in this photograph but Dad just looks too cool to not include it.  :-)

I liked this picture so much, I cropped Michael out.  :-)

I thought this picture was appropriate as the last picture.
Dad kissing me goodbye.
2007

 I still can't believe that Dad is gone.  I still miss him just as much as I did six months ago, if not more.  There is a void in my heart that can't be filled until we are reunited on the other side of the veil.

I love you, Dad.  God be with you till we meet again. Wookatah wookatah!

That's my two cents. 

Original Six

Here's what you've all been waiting for.  The original six!

I've looked at so many pictures and put them in so many different categories that you may find a few duplicates.

There are a ton of pictures on this blog post so I won't label all of them.  I will try to label a few.  Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this photographic journey of the young original six!  Hopefully I labeled things correctly and was fairly close on my guess of the dates.  Let me know if you see anything that needs to be corrected.

That's my two cents.
