This week I thought it would be appropriate to post a picture that in some way went along with the story I am in the middle of telling. I decided that I should share a few pictures of my dad with you. If you haven't read the story I am sharing check it out, here is Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. I will return tomorrow with Chapter 3.
This first picture is of my dad and me during the summer of 1985. Look at all those curls I had, wasn't I the cutest four year old ever!
This one of my dad was taken Christmas Day 1985. It was his last Christmas alive. My mom wanted to have a really big live tree that year and the one they picked has pine cones on it. Shortly after they brought it home I became very sick and it took the doctors forever to figure out what was wrong with me. I am allergic to pine trees so I spent that Christmas laying on the couch. The only thing I did was get up once to make my dad and Uncle Ed some coffee with the kitchen set Santa brought me.
If you have a picture, or two, or three you want to share head on over to Candid Carries and join us. It's really fun!

Isn't it scary how much my daughter looks like me???
These are great photos. And I love the pinecones in the tree...not loving you getting sick on Christmas, though.
Found you on Candid Carrie.
How sad that you lost your dad so young! Thank you for sharing!
You definitely were an adorable 4-year-old! You looked like a little doll.

great to have those photos - and those memories
It is great to have those pictures of your Dad...Been reading your story and I'm entralled...will definitely be checking back in...
Your daughter DOES look like you!
Oooh I love the story and LOVE seeing the pictures!
Thanks for sharing!
I love the pics! Your daughter is sooo cute and she does look just like you at that age! That is so surreal to me when kids look exactly like their parents. I guess because I have boys so I would feel bad if they looked just like me. ;) Oh and I have a friend who is allergic to pine trees too, they always had the nicest fake tree because of it.
Love those curls, Mrs. Wilson! I bet you also love those pictures of your dad. Sweet memories, right? - Tif
I am sorry you lost your Dad so young...that must have been hard for your family! You are a cute little girl and I am sure you grew up adorable!
Great pictures of you and your dad. Thanks for sharing those and your story. BTW--we have the same last name and my husband's name starts with a J--so the first time I saw you comment on my blog--I was wondering--why my husband was commenting on my blog!! HEHE
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Those are great pics of him! Your curls were the best!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Loved your pics and now I must read the first couple of chapters to your story! I lost both of my parents when I was young, my dad when I was 4 and my mom when I was 7. Who would have thought you could be allerigic to pine trees! Too crazy!
