Those who have left for home are still so close to us!<br />I was teaching my teenagers (I think it was the last day I was able to be in the classroom with them before the COVID lockdown) and looking down the front row. In my mind, I saw my Dad sitting there, a big grin on his face. I looked back and, of course, he was gone. But he was there for an instant. I know he was.<br />Big joker. I wonder if he's met your stepfather. I think they'd get along famously!Diane Stringam Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629946536985545457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-57060388650118202682016-05-06T10:52:06.108-05:002016-05-06T10:52:06.108-05:00Without a doubt I've been very lucky when it c...Without a doubt I've been very lucky when it comes to step families.Karen BakingInATornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908944310611937600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-19945056436973253062016-05-06T10:10:34.579-05:002016-05-06T10:10:34.579-05:00What a beautiful story, tribute and honoring post....What a beautiful story, tribute and honoring post. I sat here crying while reading. It has been almost 3 years since my Daddy past and I miss him so much. Very few people are blessed with great memories of step parents or second parents. Thank you for opening your memories and heart, sharing with us, making us cry and laugh just a bit today. Blessings to you my friend.<br /><br />Now these cupcakes! Girl you need to stop!
