March 4 was the last time you posted this-where have you been since then? Are you ok?- It was a great read about your dad-I am sure he is very proud of you
One thing that always warms my soul is to read or hear of a loving relationship between father and daughter. It touched me how you defined your beloved Dad in terms of being a Texan. For someone like me who is not familiar with what it means to be a Texan, your tender words have created a vivid portrait of such a man whose esteemed stature could only be measured in terms of magnitude.
Thanks for sharing this lovely homage.
Susan, this is just a marvelous tribute to your fine father. You wove such beauty into every line to capture images of the memories you hold inside. Your portrait will remain in my mind for a long time because your descriptions were magnificent.
Indeed he does, Susan. Great image to accompany your loving words of admiration as well. The child is father to the man. The father-heart of the man spreads his wings of protection, valour, industry and creativity into the universe around him. You truly walk in his shoes/boots and his light. What a mutual delight you have and continue to share together. Kate xx
You write with such eloquence in this splendid tribute to your father! I hope you have it printed and hanging on a wall somewhere! This is exceptional, Susan!
A very fine tribute to from what I know...an amazing man.
Blessings Susan

Top write. I love Texas, all my ex's live there.lol. I learnt the two step there, and there is something special about the lone star, even in a place like Abilene. My year working at Dyess afb has been one of the highlights of my life. But the men keep hats on indoors, never had seen that before, same as eating without a knife.
I can so see your dad here, and Texas being the friendliest place on earth, I can understand one have such a big hearted dad. love this tribute.. do they still say "don't mess with texas" it was a litter ad...
...I see a big star...above a man...in descriptive giving colors...who painted a family of beauty...and in his memory...he gifted the palette...to them...to the continue the art...in the skies he once held so grand.
...beautiful words for your father...from your heart Susan...

Susan,
I am a transplanted Texan, yet the Lone Star State is home. I agree with Georg, far too many times, we honor our Mothers, while dear old Dad is left out to dry. It is not right and that being said,
no greater a tribute could be written to a man who was obviously loved by so many --- your Dad.
I concur with Stan, the flow is fine. Nice and easy, kind of listening to a Texan talk - you honor him with beautiful lines - well done. You were indeed blessed - he has mighty big boots to fill. :)
susan,your to hard on yourself ....the flow is fine,i love all your writes about your dad..they all shine as does this one.......about the AD formatting I'm have problems posting also..so your not alone in that reguards.........i keep thinking back to your write all kids should be so lucky to experience a dad like yours,

He surely does, and this is a wonderful, extremely heartfelt tribute to him, Susan.
