My dad was a Korean veteran. He was raised by a strict father who never hugs his boys or showed them how proud he was of them. He came into his marriage to my mom exhibiting the same tough no nonsense with his first two kids.
Then came his frail little daughter me. Now how would he discipline me if my bones broke so easy. How would he protect me from falling or bumping into things. He had to learn fast, and he sure did. He was the kindest man and spent much time with me, it seemed on purpose. He played cards, and we took walks when mom was being mom. He saw how upset I was. He let me vent about her or bullies at school, always listening carefully. He always wanted to come up with some wise words, but he was a simple man. He had though a secret, which I knew about. He could look at a math problem and he just knew the answer. The Nuns at school were so harsh with him and smacked him many times. Oh, I so admired his ability for math. He always checked my home worked and gently told me to check one of the numbers. He was right. 

Thank you daddy,
Bubbles

Happy Wednesday to all you crafters out there.

 

It is a rainy day here in northwest Arkansas and the last Wednesday I will be in this home.  This time next week I will be back in the deserts of Arizona.  I'm sure it won't be raining there. Lol

 

I know this question is not craft related, but since Monday was Memorial Day and since Cathy shared her loss with us, I would like to talk about special people we have lost.

 

Can you tell us about a special person that you have lost?  It can be recent or long ago.

 

Who were they and why were they special to you?

 

The people I miss most are my Grandpa and Grandma Foster.  When small I was a total Grandpa's girl; I thought he hung the moon.  I was his only granddaughter for many years, so was just a little indulged. Lol  I also adored my Grandma.  She used to let me help her do the dishes when I had to stand on a chair and was more trouble than help.  We also made a 9 patch quilt together.

 

Please share some of your memories; we would all like to read them.

 

Have a great rest of the week.

 

Nella
