For all of you who have fathers who have passed on, like myself, just remember that they are in a better place, and are simply in a place of change. The fathers who are in a different world still love you, and still watching over you, and still protecting you. I know my kids would have loved their grandfather, and one day, when they are old enough to understand, I will tell them that he made the trip to heaven. I will tell them that he is an angel watching them, and that they are loved and pr

A FATHER'S LOVE
It's the smile at the site of his young daughter's birth,
It's a treasure worth all the jewels of this earth,
It's the warmth of his heart at the child's first embrace,
It's the glow he sees on his lovely wife's face,
When she nourishes the child at her swollen breasts,
Before laying her down for a good nights rest,
It's the awakening in the middle of the night,
To ensure his daughter is breathing all right,
For his first child died years before,
Went to sleep, Woke up at Heaven's Door,
It's the diaper change, shitty stains, the snotting at the nose,
It's dirty hands, crusty feet and filthy ass clothes,
It's the hand that crosses her tiny little butt,
To keep her in line when she's messing up'
It's the weeble wobble as she takes her first walk.
It's the correction of her words when she learns to talk,
It's the holding of her hand as she crosses the street,
While walking to school for her very first week,
It's watching his daughter develop as a girl,
While her mother styles her hair in ribbons and curls,
It's the reading of stories from the "Good Book,"
It's the teaching, when in trouble, To the sky you must look,
For guidance, strength and understanding,
In Jesus Christ, nothing's to demanding,
It's taking that step from girl to young lady,
In her father's eyes, she will always be his baby,
It's watching her loyalties drift apart,
From Daddy's safety to her first love's heart,
It's the feeling of abandonment, hurt and pain,
Each time she mentions the young man's name,
It's betrayal he feels as she spreads her wings
It's the feeling that Daddy's no longer her king,
It's that time in her life when she thinks she's all grown,
And leaves the protection and safety of home,
It's forgiving her failures as she returns,
From an inadequate life and lessons learned,
It's the foresight he sees as his daughter fears,
To tell him, in the near future, her own child she must rear,
It's the wisdom the Great Master has given him,
To accept all her faults and forgive all her sins,
All he asks of her in return,
Is to accept his short-comings and lessons learned,
When days become months and months become years,
A father's words will ring loud and clear,
The firm grasp of an eagle's talon and the sweet songs of the dove,
Are as strong and as soft as A Father's Love.
I am sending this to my BookPlace friends because Gremlins are out there, waiting for an opportunity to humiliate you. Here's how my newly released The Frugal Editor can help:
• Learn what annoys agents the most--straight from the mouths of the nation's best.
• Learn what your English teacher told you was OK but has changed since you were a Sophomore.
• Learn what is absolutely grammatically correct but will annoy publishers.
• Learn how to make your Spell and Grammar Check your partner instead of your enemy.
• Learn how to avoid the scams when you select an editor.
• Learn how to partner with your editor or your publisher's editor.
• Learn how to use hyphens, ellipses and all the other grungy little punctuation marks that English teachers avoided teaching because they didn't know how to use them either.

I hope you had a sun-soaked day, as I know you love that type of weather. My family and I had hoped to celebrate the 4th at the beach. But the sun was hiding behind clouds all day. No rain, but NOT a beach day. My daughter Kelli had us over for a bbq. But on the 1st of July, in an area I live near, Breezy Point, we celebrated the holiday early. Coincidentally, it was my brother's 60th birthday so we had a gala party at the Surf Club inside Breezy. At 9PM the city shot off some fireworks. ALL in attendance, now pretty much "fired up" themselves, claimed they had arranged the display as a birthday salute to my brother. I shot a small segment of the fireworks and did something I've never done before. Though I have a long way to go in the movie making business, as you'll soon discover, I uploaded it onto YouTube. Here is my first effort ~ http://youtube.com/watch?v=uXU7owlgep4

Good luck with it!.
I'm looking forward to the day when I can find something interesting enough to bring forward. Of course, I could wait forever for that. LOL
Best regards,

We have different tastes in books but you're so beautiful (your husband must be thrilled each time he looks at you) I'm flattered you want to be my friend.
