Your father looks...That was very touching, Gabriel. Your father looks like a very kind man. My Dad died in 1999, on July 11th. I remember the last Fathers Day that we had, and it was so bitter sweet. We knew that he would not be around for another one, but we still had him that day. I miss him so much. Our family has fallen apart because of him, and nothing is the same. Still, there isn't much that I would change. He was terminally ill and had suffered for sooo long. It will get easier. I'm sure that you feel that sense of closure when you get a chance to visit his grave. I hope so :)Biddiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07745873261311850810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-54509574262526739752008-06-11T12:40:00.000-04:002008-06-11T12:40:00.000-04:00What a wonderful tribute!

Your dad will be in my prayers and thoughts this weekend too.<>Carrie, Indrani<>, yes I do miss him a lot. I mean, I am somewhat used to the idea of not having him around since I was 11. But at least I could talk to him on the phone... But I still talk to him many times, through the songs he taught me.<>Jim<>, it's hard for me as well, but it's my way to deal with it. You know, I haven't even had the chance to visit his grave... It's going to take time until I get that sensation of closure.<>Bunny trails<>, thanks for coming back! I will check out Photoshop Elements, I love the way you watermark your pictures.<>Roger, Eastcoastlife, Randall, Will<>, thank you all.<>Dawn<>, I'm sorry for your loss. It's tough, isn't it?<>bns<>, I understand. With the time, you get used to the notion of not having him around, but you still miss him. Thank God for pictures and videos.<>Trinity<>, I am absolutely going to participate. I will send you my tribute between tonight and tomorrow. Maybe I will just link to your blog on Sunday.<>Jientje, Jams o Donnell, cliktrik, dzoi<>, thank you.<>willthink4wine<>, I agree. Having my dad living with me for a month and a half in 2005 allowed me to re-discover him as a person. You would say we got to know each other again. My kids complained that he would never stop singing! :-)<>Mar, fernweh, lifecruiser,digital flower pictures, kelly c<>, thank you all.<>sherrie<>, of course that little kid struggling to walk is me! :-)<>june<>, I was planning to keep all the pictures in chronological order, but then I realized that there was one that was perfect for closing the post, and that's why I left it there.<>Tink, Steven and Aisha, Dark angel<>, thank you.<>Kimmie<>, I'm so very sorry. I will keep you and your father in my thoughts this Sunday.<>Janetoile28, Jenny the bloggess, Shannon, Erin<>, I really appreciate your comments. Thank you.<>Mygoodfinds<>, as I said before, thanks God for photos and video.<>Stephanie, Keri, Annie, Raven, Red lotus mama, Gigi<>, thank you. Raven, I'm sure he's watching over us. And most importantly, he's happy and proud of his five children, he told me that the very day he died.<>Anonymous<>, so sorry you didn't leave your name. Thanks for commenting, and yes, it's always bittersweet.<>The teach, Mary Beth, My goodness, Robyn Jones, Starrlight<>, thank you all.Gabrielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226955076385591763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-14032030579497726122008-06-11T10:30:00.000-04:002008-06-11T10:30:00.000-04:00My answers to the comments in Spanish:<>Fafa...My answers to the comments in Spanish:<>Fafa<>, me alegro de que justo hayas visitado el blog para este post. Tengo fotos muy lindas de Papá que te voy a enviar pronto. La última la escaneé de una diapositiva ayer.<>Lina<>, muchas gracias. Lamento que tú tampoco tengas a tu padre cerca. Con respecto al top commentators, ya te contesté en tu blog, pero por las dudas: el mío lo hago a mano. Todas las noches!<>Hector<>, gracias por tu comentario. Al día de hoy mis hijos todavía me preguntan por qué yo no lloré cuando mi viejo murió. Creo que es porque hice el duelo desde el momento en que me dí cuenta que se moría (la nochebuena del 2005) y tal vez por eso no me shockeó tanto su muerte, por traumática que fue... Pero que lo extraño, lo extraño horrores. Fue mi mejor amigo, y quien me introdujo a la música, y eso no es poco.<>Arturo<>, me parece excelente que le dediques un post a tu viejo. Con respecto al viaje de mi Papá y Cristina (su esposa) a Canadá, eso fue en el invierno de 2005 (menos de un año antes de su muerte); pasaron un mes y medio en casa de mi hermano en Virginia y un mes y medio en casa. Sabes que? Yo pude ver cómo la vida de mi padre hacía 'pico' en ese momento, y el me lo dijo, fue tal vez el momento más feliz de su vida, porque conocer USA y Canadá había sido siempre su sueño. Ya había estado en USA una vez, pero en este último viaje también se dio el gusto de comprobar en primera persona qué bonito era Canadá (en especial Waterloo, ciudad a la que amó como lo hago yo) y lo bien que vivíamos. Mi viejo y Cristina disfrutaron este viaje muchísimo, lo que para mí fue un gran consuelo (me lo repetía constantemente, incluso un día antes de morir).<>Lorena<>, lamento muchísimo lo de tu padre... Como conté más arriba, yo tuve una reacción diametralmente opuesta a la del resto de la flia con respecto a su muerte, pero aún me carcome el hecho de que no puedo hablarlo con mis hijos, porque son muy chiquitos aún, y hay cosas que no entenderían... incluso es difícil escribirlo aquí, porque sé que me leen... :-) La verdad es que ando medio bajoneado estos días, y ya me estoy dando cuenta del por qué...Gabrielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226955076385591763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-60198988194936113732008-06-11T10:20:00.000-04:002008-06-11T10:20:00.000-04:00Great WW, your dad was a looker =)Great WW, your dad was a looker =)Starrlighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542122037324196279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-45433140348357098012008-06-11T10:06:00.000-04:002008-06-11T10:06:00.000-04:00Those are some very cool pictures...I don't ha...Those are some very cool pictures...I don't have very many of my parents...Robyn Jonesnoreply@blogger.com
