BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR MY DAD

Today would have been my Dad’s 89th birthday.  

He was born on a farm near Worthington, Iowa on January 21, 1924 (his baby photo is above), and died on March 27, 1986, at the age of 62.  I believe our loved ones are always present with us on some level, and so I know my dad is here with me as I remember his birthday today.

While scanning some old photographs from my family, I came across these wonderful “sweater” photos of my dad.  Given my love for sweaters, I thought I’d share them with you here. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
