My Dad and I

Posted June 14th, 2008 by joyce

Dedicated to my father on Father's Day and in memory of my mother who died in September of 2007, for whom we all mourn

My Dad and I drove
On the back roads of Vermont
To old stomping grounds.
Our empty home looked so sad,
But Dad's whistle made me glad.

Unfortunately, my Dad has been in a depression since my mother's passing. It made me so happy to think that he was a little relieved from that by our drive.

Thank you for your kind comment.

I'm sure by you being with him , it cheered him up and he felt like whistling!
in dads' eyes, daughters are the best!

I think that was a part of it, and he likes to take drives. When I was young we took a lot of drives, and he would stop the car and fish for a while.
