I sure miss my dad

I sure miss my dad.  I took this picture with him on his last flight aboard a B-17 Flying Fortress, the Nine-O-Nine, September 9, 2007 in New Hampshire.  A birthday gift from his family.  I was the lucky one to help him get aboard, luckier yet when they told me to stay and go with him.  His last, my first, one I will never forget.

You could see the memories in his eyes.  He was there, flying over Italy or Africa, it was like it was yesterday.

I sure do miss my dad.  No one to turn to anymore.

  1. I'm glad he got that flight. I do miss my uncle when he would come up and visit and nap in dads chair.
