Dewars White Label
I was so happy, little and warm
I would run into your arms
High pitched squeal, pig tails in a whirl
"Airplane" "pleeeeeeease!!!"
I would beg and plead
Only now, do I realize how you had just worked
an 80 hour work week and flown from Ohio to NY and returned, all within 5 days
Still—
"Airplane" was always played
and my daddy
he, never complained
I can remember the smell of scotch
and his slippers,
I would wear them on my own feet,
pretending to drink his 'drink'
and "ewwwing" at that smell of Dewars,
Which I now, at this precise moment sip from my own glass
Remembering you, Daddy.
Richard, Rich, Dick, Father, Son, Husband, Friend, Marine, Business owner and excellent player of "airplane"
Today, Dad would have been 78 years old
and I miss his face and that warm
My ache only slightly lessened by my drinking tribute of his favorite, Dewars White label
-love you.
Cheers, Dick 🥃

Touchingly written, with perfect touches of intimate detail. I'm sure he'd be proud. You have a dynamic voice. 💖🙏🏻
When I read the word proud, associating with myself and my dad, I almost burst into tears... lol
I'll never know if that's the case, I'm kinda stuck in a forever limbo of 'well, of course'...
So it is....
Thank you for your lovely sentiments, I'm always grateful for your comments /visits and encouragement. Especially when I know how much pain you're experiencing these past few days...
Condolences & my deepest sympathy,
lovely friend.
*hand to heart
Take care of yourself

Dear BV,
That he was loved by you so dearly is the greatest return I think a parent could ever hope for. You make me realize opportunities I still have and not recognized and I thank you for that and the read of your sweet poem. H🌷

Ohh how a smile appears when seeing your avatar!! I'm so very very glad that I could touch something within. Time is often seen as trivial and overlooked, to our own detriment. Hindsight, being way too late, in circumstances we wished like mad we could rewrite. Take a advantage!!!
I'm honored by your thoughts and insights, appreciate the RL add and alway, ALWAYS hoping that I see you, sooner rather than later.
Much love,
💜🌹💜

as a father of lovely princess, I concur with the lady above.
Some deeply touching tribute Blue. Excellent pen.

I'm just now returning to a sense of sober Blue, (as I don't really drink) So excuse my possible lack of eloquence. I very much appreciate your heart felt comments and I'm glad that I could touch a place inside that resonated. I am grateful for the list add and your visit. Especially when I know you're experiencing your own loss.
My sincerest sympathies and wishes for peace within remembrance. 🕊 Your presence upon my page is certainly always welcomed

Oh, this tugs at my heart Blue. We commemorate our parents with the traditions and things they used to do, remembering those times and wondering.
I hope that the memory of him brings you comfort, and all the good and happy times fill your heart with a smile.
