Today it has been 5 years since the passing of our dear father, Harold C. Parady.
Sometimes to me it feels like only yesterday. Having spent so much time with him when he was well and through his illness, I still feel the strong connection and his guiding presence in my life. Love is eternal and never dies, it just changes.
I was reading my students essays this week on the "most influential person in my life" many of them described their own fathers as being the force that has motivated them to be successful. I could not help but shed some tears, remembering the kind, gentle man with the Maine accent, and dry sense of humor that we had for a Dad. Today let's pause as a family wherever we are sending our prayers and gratitude for having him as our dear father.
Enjoy the photos!!Love always, Mary
