and a couple of Father's Day posts from earlier in 2021

Thinking about Father’s Day tomorrow and remembering my Dad. He’s been gone 42 years this past April and as time marches on, it becomes more difficult. I inherited some traits from Daddy…his hair (color and texture) and eyes, his temperament (much to my Mother’s chagrin,) and his habit of absentmindedly twirling a lock of his hair around his finger while concentrating.

I thought about him today and realized that I was twirling my hair as I contemplated tomorrow’s holiday. Happy Father’s Day to Dads of all types. Enjoy your day!

What traits and/or habits have you inherited from your father???

One more Father’s Day post and I’m done…lol. Last night while doing some family genealogy research with Chuck, we both dug out some old photos of his Dad and Grandfathers. It was amazing to see the faces of our grand babies in the faces of his grand and great-grand Fathers. I always “see” Chuck when I look at little Colton, but we were both amazed at how much Sophia looks like Chuck’s Grandfather.

I really shouldn’t be that amazed, though. I’ve heard all my life just how much I look like my Dad. I see it. I’m proud of it. I don’t have many pictures of Daddy, and I have even fewer of my Grandfathers. Below is what I do have. The first picture is my Father, the second is my Papaw Hall (fraternal Grandfather,) and finally Grandaddy Robinson (maternal Grandfather.)

Happy Father’s Day in heaven gentlemen. I hope you are looking down on me with affection. Thank you for passing on your genes; I love you.
