Happy birthday!
My adoptive Dad would have been 65 years old today. How ironic that one of the things we last fought about before he died was the fact he thought my brother and I forgot him at Christmas and his birthday and here I am 21 years after he died and I still remember his birthday like it was yesterday!
My Dad with Jamie and me, when we were little
Rebecca, Jamie, My Dad and his cousin outside Goldenrod's in York Maine... some of my favorite childhood memories are from York when my cousin Rebecca would come visit her grandmother in Kittery Maine and we would get to see each other!
This picture of my Dad makes me laugh because there are notes written on the back pertaining to the composition of the photo, etc.... he then goes on to point out that it's a "bad photo" because his hair "looks like hell"! LOL
This is one of my all-time favorite pics of my Dad. It was take in Orlando the summer before he passed away. It's torn and tattered because I carried it in my back pocket for a year+ after he passed away!
As far as I know, this is the last picture of my dad taken, just about a month before he passed away. Its so strange for me to look at this, because he seemed so "old" when he died, yet he was only 44. Scott is currently OLDER than my Dad was when he died! Yikes! Can you imagine?
Anyway, happy birthday, Dad! I miss you!
In other news, I had my first post-degree interview today. It went really well, but I got a call that they chose someone else for the position! :( They are looking to fill a second position July 1st, so I am holding out a little hope for that, but for right now, I am disappointed. I didnt realize how much I missed working until I sat in the interview and imagined the phone ringing and my own office space. Ah well, such is the economy! I am glad I have another interview Friday to keep my mind occupied! :)
