Missing my Father today

As always, I am recalling something my father did that changed my life or made me smile. Today is certainly no acception. When I was a little girl, my father would take me on long tractor rides around our grounds. We had such a beautiful property and people would stop by, from miles around, just to see my dad's handywork. If the onlookers had small children, my dad would take them along also, and make the childrens' day! He was such a thoughtful, caring person, who loved children dearly. I am remembering his glistening smile against the background  of cross-bred roses in our backyard. I miss you so much Dad; my heart aches to hold you again. Your loving Daughter.
