Celebrating Dad

A lady who knew my dad when she lived in their ward works for an organization called LifeCenter and nominated him to be honored for being a donor organ. He was selected by this Donate Life organization to be recognized and have his picture and story in their 2024 calendar. So, the day before his birthday, which seems so fitting, the boys and I met Mom and Bryan down at a park in Cincinnati to do a family photo shoot and video interview. It might possibly have been the hottest, most humid day ever but it truly was a special thing to be a part of. Dad was always so generous and giving, even at the very end. 

Super cool tunnel entering into the park.

After taking some family pictures, Bryan, the boys, and I hung out while Mom did her pictures and video. It was a beautiful view of the Ohio River.

Love knowing that my dad is receiving this recognition.

And Mom did such a great job!

We got to watch her interview.

Wandering back through the park we passed this huge statue of Cincinnatus...

and found the Cincinnati pig dressed up as a Roman soldier.

The flying pigs!

On Dad's birthday we visited his grave to wish him a Happy Birthday and to put in new flowers. If cancer hadn't entered his story, he would have been 76 this year. Oh, how I miss him!
