Happy Birthday, Dad!
How odd to think that this would have been your 107th birthday! Somehow, I can’t imagine you as 107 or mom as 102 !!! You will always seem forever young to me – always mom and dad at home with all of us – so long ago, yet always so close at heart and as though everything is the same as it was.
You are loved – today, tomorrow, always,
Affectionately,
Cathy xoxo

Not a moment, a day, a week, a month or a year goes by when you are not close at heart and in my thoughts, Dad.
You are loved today, tomorrow, always,

In loving remembrance of a well-loved and sincerely missed dad.

It is your birthday tomorrow, Dad – January 12th. You will be celebrating with mom and Do-Do in heaven. You will be 95 years old! WOW! Doesn’t time go by in a wink?? We continue to think of you with so much love. Yesterday, I had to have some surgery done and was feeling quite anxious. On my way home from the doctor’s last week, and then yesterday morning on the way to the hospital, I was given two gifts. I am certain that both gifts were from you and mom with a lot of Do-Do there, too. There was a huge huge rainbow behind me as I drove home last week from my pre op appointment, and yesterday on our way to the hospital, the sun coming up was absolutely brilliant!! I remember mom and I seeing an enormous rainbow after you died. It was so incredible. Mom said it was a gift from you letting us know that you were safely home. And then when mom passed, Dinny and Reg and I saw a brilliant sunrise following mom’s death. We must have watched for a half hour as mom was so beautifully taken to heaven. When she reached her destination, there was a massive burst of colour! We knew that mom was safely home. Such incredible experiences both times. Thank you (and mom, too) for sending me such positive energy at a time when I was feeling so afraid. You continue to be with me always providing me with the strength and wisdom I always knew you for. As long as you are with me, dad, I know I will be A Okay!! I love you. Happy Birthday to you. Please continue to keep us all in your prayers.
Loving you always,

Hi, Dad! It’s been about a year since I dropped by. How’s it going? Things are still pretty bad down here, but I suppose that depends on the attitude at any given moment (smile). Can’t complain. Shouldn’t complain. Mom’s doing okay. She’s had a couple of falls. All that running around in circles, I guess. She had one eye operated on this week to remove a cataract. The surgery went well and she can see better than I can. She is still able to walk fairly well and gets herself around in her walker on her own. She’s really a wonderful, gentle lady that everyone at the Manor and elsewhere loves. Me? Oh, I guess I’m doing okay. Wondering if I should carry on teaching. I’m feeling like I’d like to do something else. Great class this year, though. Just too busy with too much to do. Reg is doing fine and so is Marcus. I sure miss you, Dad. Happy Easter. I love you so much. Continue to keep me in your prayers. I seem to be needing them a lot lately.
I love you.
Your daughter, Cathy XXXXX

Hi, Dad! With the help of Gerald Hannon, we are all able to access your page again and leave message for you from all of us!! I continue to talk with you all the time, especially when something strikes me funny, when I need strength, when I just need to. It will be 10 years on May 29th that you said “So long!” to all of us and this world. It’s a mess down here, but I suppose you know that. But…..even in the middle of the big world mess, there is a lot of great things happening. Mom turned 85 on May 16th. She has had some hard times this year, but she has come back and is doing well now. She talks about you all the time and of course misses you very much. We all miss you, dad. Things just aren’t the same without you in our lives. I hope you are well wherever you are, that you’re winning at the “race track” in the sky, that you are continuing to write and keep those “politicians” on their toes. It’s getting warm now and I’m looking forward to the end of the school year to just rest and be for awhile. Great class this year. No complaints.
Love you so much.
Your daughter, Cathy

Hello, Dad. Today is Father’s Day and I am thinking about you with love. What special memories I have of you. I think of you in happy times, sad times, times that little things come up which remind me of you–a certain piece of music, a laugh, a mannerism in one of your grandchildren. I love you, Dad. Happy Father’s Day. Please remember me in your prayers. Love always, Cathy.
29 May, 2004
Hello, Dad. Today is May 29th, 2004. It is seven years now since you completed your journey here with all of us. We hope that your new life, your new journey is equally rewarding for you. We continue to miss you very much, but there are so many times, Dad, that I feel you and hear you. A certain smell, a piece of music, a favorite flower…. so many things remind me of you and bring you close once again. Things are good with us. Mom is doing fine and talks of you so often and with so much love. The grandchildren are all getting to be so grown up. Mark will be going to Korea for a month in August to teach. He still reminds me so much of you. He has so much of you in him. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you today and that I reminded myself of how blessed I was to have you for such a long time as my Dad. I love you now and always… Cathy.

Hello Grandpa, it’s Rosie here. I was thinking of you today and wishing that I could talk to you. I remember when I was little and we used to come visit you and Grandma, you used to always give me a loonie and tell me not to tell my mom. You really were a wonderful person. I miss you and I know that wherever you are, you are watching over all of your loved ones. It must be beautiful there. Take care. Love Rosie.

Hi, Dad! You have been on my mind so much this last couple of weeks. It was four years ago, May 29th, that you left us. Sunday is Father’s Day and I am thinking of all of the wonderful ways you encouraged me over the years, your great sense of humour, your passion for learning, your honesty when it mattered. I love you dad. Special thoughts and prayers at this time, Cathy.

Hi, Dad! It’s Cathy. You have been on my mind so much since I started back to school. I have twenty-two students this year–all very special. There is, however, so much conflict in the workplace. I’ve been thinking about how you always said during times such as these, “For every problem there is an opportunity”. I love you, Dad. Mom is well. Quite comfortable in her new apartment. She talks about you often and always with love. I hope you are well and happy. My love always, Cathy.
14 August, 2000
Thinking of you today, Dad. Mom is moving closer to us. Her heart is a little weaker, but she is managing okay. She has done well on her own but now needs us to keep a closer vigil. We send you all our love and remember your words: “For every problem there is an opportunity.” Mom and Cathy.

When my father died, a little over two years ago now, I was devastated. I never thought the ache in my heart would go away. Somehow, with time, the love of others, and my own journey into that place called healing, the ache did diminish. Now, I am grateful for the many cherished memories of my father. It is so special to have a place to come to where I may share a state of mind which is universal. Love to all those who share this wonderful site.
