For dad ..

Can there be any doubt that everyones dad is their hero??   My dad was larger than life as I grew up.. I remember being in or having a certain amount of fear of him.. I guess that was respect.. I was always a little leery that he might snap.. He never did.. In fact he wasn't the disciplinarian at all,   mom was..  There were so many times I expected dad to just make an example of me and abort my existence but he never touched me.. The more he didn't do anything the more I feared him.. I think I felt like he would eventually ream me and say remember this time or that time you did this or that..  He never did..  My memories of him as he got older was that I was more than willing to help with whatever he needed.. There were times that I wished I was there for him.. When he would tell of a problem at a store, either he fell or any other thing.. I felt bad that I wasn't there for him.. I swore I wouldn't do the same for mom.. I do try to have a hands off approach for mom, only helping where I need to.  But with dad it was different..  

Fathers Day..  The video was the original that I put together last year, but after I got it done I decided to redo it and set the video below as the one I wanted to this song medley by Michael Stanley.. Every time I listened to the song before I would think of dad and after he passed it took on the same meaning only stronger.. Just the feeling of the song..  anyway the initial subject of the video was dad in all the later aspects of his life.. The second version was from his early years which really felt right to have..   The first version was never uploaded anywhere ever before.. But this is Father's day and I thought rather than just have the first version I'd have them both here..

Father's day takes on new meaning when you have children.. For my niece it takes on new meaning as she is a single mother so she gets to be both mother and father at the same time..  

Amy's lulliby is a song by Mars Lasar was the perfect song for this video..   I keep getting more pictures of these girls.. For another video project hopefully to be completed by their first birthday.  

For all the Fathers out there I hope they all have a great day.
