What a lovely tribute and I admire your attitude! On the anniversary of my dad's passing, we blow bubbles to heaven, filled with wishes.

I've been helping care for my father in law for the last few months, and he passed away last week. Memories are a great comfort.

It's wonderful that your dad got to see your success, though, and be proud of you! What a wonderful gift he left you in that. Love and hugs to you.

Looks like they are 9-10 days old. And I was worried because I hadn't seen the mama bunny with them, but evidently they only spend 5-10 minutes a day at the nest and that's sufficient for the babies to feed.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this particular arc of the circle of life. Having lost my father twelve years ago I do know something of what you are feeling. One of my greatest regrets is that I didn't start writing sooner. He would have been so proud of my contest wins and the completion of my novels. You were fortunate your father knew AND was proud of you! <br /><br />Nature has a way of offering comfort when we need it most and in the most perfect ways.
