My Daddy

This is a picture of my Daddy when he was a young man,I created the chart with pcstitchpro.I love that software!My Dad passed away at the age of 46,he was one of the greatest men that ever walked this earth!I miss him even after 23 years,He passed away from colon cancer 5 weeks after my younger brother(who was 26) was killed,he told me his sorrow was greater than his pain.My Daddy sat on the side of his bed and told my Mom(he always called her Tootie),Tootie he said I won't be with you on your birthday and sang happy birthday to her,he died that night,her birthday was the next day,she turned 43.Maybe this helps me heal after all these years,I know several family members have seen what I have done so far and they always cry.

  1. This is really amazing! What a sad story to go with it. Keep stitching so you can finish and everyone will admire it and be so glad that you did it for all to enjoy.
