It's been almost three months since my father in law went home to heaven. I was going through pictures tonight, and came across these pictures I took at the funeral and following day at his home. It's still really hard to post them, I still miss him so much. I've often wanted to pick up the phone and call him, but know I can't.
Dad's hat resting in the flowers.
His flowers he had planted along side his home. He cared about the little things of beauty.
He was building his deck when he passed away. There was still fresh pencil marks on the floor, and it was unfinished. He was doing what he loved to the very end.
He'll no longer sit on his deck and watch the sunrise, or pull up a stump...
We found this pile of coins and his watch on the kitchen table. His watch had burn marks on it, so we think he came in the house and emptied his pockets and took off his watch.
His old jean coat hanging on the chair where he last left it.
The man that wore these boots, walked a road of life that was filled with love for his family.
Tools left where he had been working. He was such a wonderful carpenter!
Dad had just celebrated his birthday. Both of his sisters sent him the same card. We all thought that was pretty funny. Funny card too!
Dad loved his Little Debbie's. Found this box hidden behind the microwave. Yah, he wasn't suppose to be eating them either.
Todd and I posing by the sign Dad had just made at the entrance to his lot.
This is the hardest picture to post and see. This is his shirt and hat, burned from the fire that took his life. We found his hat in the house and I'm not sure where Dean found the shirt. I can't imagine the agony and pain that he went through.
The sun was setting when we left his place, and the sun had set on his life here on earth, but it will never set in our hearts. Love and miss you so much Dad!!
