“FATHER’s DAY… 2017” “A MEMORY”

Jun 17th “FATHER’s DAY… 2017” “A MEMORY”

This is a PHOTO that reminds me – – that we should take more TIME OUT – – to take photos of DADDY and the small children – – since this precious play time… lasts… but a few moments in the brain.

When this PHOTO was taken – – I would have taken more pictures of “DADDY”… Lee, Sr., stretched out on the floor with our “newborn baby AL” and big brother, Lee Jr., if only there was some advanced warning in LIFE – – that “Daddy” would be needing surgery… within four years from mow – – and so sudden… not make it.

TODAY… my feeling is to take more PHOTOS of the FAMILY – – and learn to enjoy each and every moment – – those precious moments – – that are over in seconds – – never ever to return – – and once gone – – never remembered – – unless there are PHOTOS… to bring to mind – – all the LOVE of LIFE – – that would have … just been gone forever.

Old PHOTOS bring to LIFE… at least in the mind – – reminders of those few moments – – we each have – – when we think that our LIVES are a piece of HEAVEN on EARTH – – but… being young and in LOVE – – our minds are not strong enough to let us really know – – these fleeting moments – – if not enjoyed… “here and now” — will have only been a vague dream of a time in LIFE – – you might have wished… to be forever – – but is NOW… forever all gone!

This is when we were living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – – and only a mile from the ocean – – and the “FLORIDA SUNSHINE” – – would wake us all up so early – – no late sleepers – – “Mr. SUNSHINE” would pour himself… into the window – – with a “TIME to WAKE-Up SMILE”… and lucky for us… we all were “early birds” ready for the new day to have FUN!
