Today, I will miss celebrating my Fathers birthday ~ 9th of March was his birth date.I miss my Dad everyday and honour him for being the best Father in the world.
The day is sweet though, for me because my small tree has yielded one little apple.We brought the tree back in a bucket from my Parents home and transplanted it in our garden.
I will be able to share a quarter each, with my family.
Dad would have been happy.
I wish you all a wonderful day
Hugs
Carolyn

ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, how lovely to have an apple from your Dad's tree for his birthday. Wishing you many happy memories, Robyn
ReplyDeleteI wish you a wonderful day too.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow it's my little son's birthday (he is three).
Life is a hard road. There is always something nice to fight. Sure your father will always with you, in your heart, I feel that mine is in everything I do.
Kisses,
Oh Carolyn dearest,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet tribute....I miss my daddy too, and he has been gone for at least 23 years. What a darling little tree, with one sweet fruit. How symbolic that is....life goes on, it is a cycle. I have been thinking of that and it may be a blog post. My dad always celebrated his birthday on March 12, and his name was Joseph. But in Mexico, where he was born, they always celebrate their SAINT'S Day for the birthday and since his is St. Joseph's day, he always believed that was his birthday. Not until he was 78 that he learned it was really in MAY! Whenever I hear the song, CLAIR DE LUNE by Debussey, I weep, for he played it so well on the piano....oh, the things that bring back memories. Thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH dearest for visiting me again, you are such a kind friend and I always am lifted up when my friends come to visit again. Enjoy every moment of life...yes, it is so precious. Anita
Great photos.

Carolyn, this little apple is a sign from your farther that he is ok. I believe in signs and always look at things trying to see hidden message. It is such a beautiful day - the birthday of your father and how wonderful it is to think of it in this beautiful way.
ReplyDeleteOh Carolyn, that is so sweet! And I bet that apple was delicious, too. How lovely you were able to transplant it. You'll always remember him when you admire your tree and the fruit will be all the sweeter for it.
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn, I can totally understand how you feel my moms birthday was March 8, although she is gone we think of her often and still remember her birthday~
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you were able to transplant the tree in your fathers memory & see it blossoming.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment!<3
Hello Carolyn...
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry your Dad isn't here...You have wonderful memories. I can now understand missing a parent everyday.
I am so happy for your little tree producing it's first apple! What a thrill for you to have a living memory...Your
Dad is up in heaven wishing he could have a bite of that apple!
We have been following the devastation in Christ Church. We are very sad for the loss of life and all of the damage the quake caused...hopefully there will be some positive stories out of such sadness.
Hope you are having a good day my dear friend.
Hugs, Nancy
Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteMy heart is with you this day as I know how much you miss your Father. Not a day goes by I do not think of mine too.
What a wonderful tribute for your Father's birthday in your post.
I believe the apple is a little message in spirit that your Father is visiting you and he is okay and in a better place.
What a wonderful pic to have of the apple from your parents garden transplanted in your garden. Perfect for framing.
Enjoy this special day with wonderful memories.
Hugs and always best wishes.
