He handmade everything right down to minature furniture and a fully equipped kitchen. The wood he used to construct the house was thick and hard, durable for many generations to come. Stephanie is all grown up now with two sons, who aren't interested in a doll house, so she gave the house to her younger sister, Katie, who has two daughters. My father passed away years ago back in 1992. He was an artist working in many different mediums. The family has oil paintings of landscapes and handmade wooden birds carved to be exactly the dimensions of a real bird. One day I opened his refrigerator and saw a baggie with a frozen Bluejay tucked inside. One last memory as to how amazing my father was : One cold winter he handbuilt a full sized sailfish boat in our garage. Everyday I think about my father and wish he was still alive. Our family changed forever when he died. Life seems so random, at times. I guess the key to going on is about letting go and finding a peaceful acceptance for life on life's terms. Thank-You, Ruth, for helping me to remember a time when my father was at his very best, loving and kind, happy, and giving the most precious gift - his time.Journal For * Tomorrow *https://www.blogger.com/profile/15989604856055878369noreply@blogger.com
