“Oh mine papa”

My dad had a great sense of humor. His initials were B.J. and when I and my sisters were teenagers we began calling him "Baby Joy". It always made him laugh and lift his eyebrows in the air. After I grew up and moved away, he emailed me almost every day and usually signed his emails with a row of x's and o's followed by the name "Daddio" (a nickname he'd given himself!). On several occasions, though, he'd sign using "Baby Joy" and I knew he was sitting at his computer with a big smile on his face and his eyebrows arched high above his eyes.

The following photos and quotes are a reflection of the relationship I had with my father. I hope they speak to you as we honor all fathers this month.

What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father.
Click to view My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic. My dear father; my dear friend; the best and wisest man I ever knew... There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson. When Charles first saw our child Mary, he said ...
It is a wise father that knows his own child. You know, fathers just have a way of putting everything together. My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard... To be a successful father... What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father.

Even though I'm old, I surely do miss my daddy sometimes.
