RE: A Birthday Observation - and a Passage

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Touching story and beautiful pictures... I love Danish summer houses :)
I'm so sorry about your Dad... I lost mine when he was 57 and me 24, from a heart attack so I feel you...Soon though it would be my grandpa's name day (the 10th), who he didn't make it to 99 either, but 91 is not bad ;)
My Dad's birthday wasn't a big deal (complicated family situation) but Christmas, oh...Christmas...that was a family standard <3

Sort:  

Thanks @meanmommy33... sorry to hear you lost your dad you, as well... the only slight sadness with that is that I really didn't get to know him through the eyes of an adult... I was always "the child." Christmas was another epci time of memories, but for me that was shorter, as it was never quite the same after my parents divorced (when I was 11).

Another sad common thing between us then, mine divorced when I was 6, pfff... :(
But yeah, I get what you're saying... For me, who knew that he doesn't want to get old, it was a relief that he didn't have to. It was devastating for me, but I know, if he's somewhere looking at me now he's like 'hehe I got you, I left 57 and gorgeous!' :) So that eases my mind and my heart a bit :)
So yeah, sad things in common so we need to get back to our happy one, Denmark :D (my God, worst documented summer for the last 38 years we're going through...)
