As time goes by, I find it painful to look back; I think it's just all the change and loss. If I could only remember the 'good times' sans the pain of what time brings. Your daddy could have filled in for Coop! LOL. Pumpkin was totally adorable and you look beautiful (as always), like Daddy's little Princess. You are so blessed Carol that you actually have a letter written to you from him. My Dad passed '1 week before I got married'. It was VERY sad and painful for me and my mom, but I always hoped he was there with us. <br /><br />Life teaches the significance of love, art and memories, and love, art and memories teach us the significance of Life.<br /> <br />I love this post.

Old-time radio & early TV comedian), and was as sweet & loving as can be. We lived in Fairbanks, Alaska, then, and he found a lovely gold nugget when panning for gold in a river, which he had made into a pendant necklace for me, which I still wear today, 60+ years later!Elizabeth Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249808851220760067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-82521878898318331422008-07-16T12:13:00.000-04:002008-07-16T12:13:00.000-04:00Reading this made me want to write to my own Dad.M...Reading this made me want to write to my own Dad.<BR/><BR/>Merci.Tamakikathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224862682852595634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-14383459289518904462007-08-14T13:57:00.000-04:002007-08-14T13:57:00.000-04:00Yes, he does look like a familiar actor, in his la...Yes, he does look like a familiar actor, in his later years (your group pix with Pumpkin), but I can't think of the name.

In fact, my oldest grandson is named Cooper. My dad had red hair also. And I have the first letter he wrote to me when I was about four years old hanging in a frame on my wall.
