To My Dad for Father's Day

This post is late because, ironically, I was away from my laptop visiting my Mum and Dad on Father's Day!

My Dad is not the tallest of men, but to me he's a giant!  A printer by trade, he taught me everything I know about colours and art - it's his passion too.  My Father's Day present to him was a book of J M Turner's work.  It doesn't matter what I do, he's proud of me.

I love my Mum unconditionally, but she and everyone else knows I'm a Daddy's girl through and through, and I don't care who knows it.

He hates having his picture taken, and he can be a contrary bugger, so the pictures I have of him are few and far between - normally he's behind the camera or lurking somewhere where he can't be photographed - but this is a picture of me with Mum and Dad at my wedding in 1994, and it's a picture I love very much because it is such a wonderful rarity!

What a gorgeous photo from your wedding day, I love your dress and your flowers. Your dad looks equally proud of you and also uncomfortable having his photo taken, bless him!

It was lovely what you said about him, especially how he's always encouraged you and been proud of all you've achieved, thanks for sharing *hugs*

Thank you :)
Oh yes, he couldn't wait to get away from the photographer that day!

He made a break for it very shortly afterwards :)
