Dad

My Dad passed away a this year. He was a good, strong, hard working Christian man who could be a bit on the quiet side.....unless you got him to start talking about fishing!  He loved to fish! On our visits, my husband could always get him talking about some fishing trip or a good "fishing hole"  he had found!

As a way to honor him and comfort myself, 
I decided to make a small collage of him. 

He's in the boat. :)  

Some of the painted paper I used was made from copies of Math papers he had written. 

He had long since retired but was a Math Professor by profession. 

We have joked that he only chose to be a teacher so he could have summers off to fish!

When I was a kid, he got to take a big trip to Alaska to fish. I remember he came home 

with two new, large, clean garbage cans with really big fish in them on ice! 

He was proud! 

 I love you daddy!
