PIC OF THE WEEK - PAPA J

Since today marks the second anniversary of my dad's passing, I'm devoting my Pic Of  The Week to him. Papa J was my more than just my dad. He was my guidance counselor, financial adviser, teacher and trusted friend.  He was my hero.

PAPA J - THE MACHO MAN

So irresistible!!

He had the best sense of humor of anybody I know.  I think for my mom... it was love at first laugh.

PAPA J - THE DAD

Papa J - November 3, 1938 - February 20, 2010

I miss my dad something awful, but as more time passes, the easier it is to cope with it.  I've gotten to the point where I can talk about him without crying, and that's a joyful thing! Rest in peace dad!! I love you!

Oh, BTW... I want to thank any of you who voted for me in the Indies Unlimited Writing Competition: REMORSE. I took first place! Yay!  Thanks again!!

Have a great week everybody!

Author's Note:  I'm going to be lout of pocket for a while this week, so please accept my apologies for not commenting or answering comments around in the blogger-hood.  I've set my Friday Funny to post automatically (for those us us who need our funny fix!) and I should be back in the loop after this weekend. Be sweet!
