A little bundle cradled in Daddy’s arms, smiling sweetly, Daddy’s heart is melting. That’s my little Girl. Watching Sesame Street, giggling, laughing, Daddy’s beaming. That’s my little girl. Learning letters, colors, shapes, printing, Daddy’s amazed. That’s my little girl. She’s learning to drive. Daddy’s holding on, clutching tightly, mashing invisible brakes. That’s my little girl. What college should I go to, time’s flying, Daddy’s anxious. That’s my little girl. Pictures hanging round about, Daddy’s looking, sighing, with a tear in his eye. That’s my little girl. Looking at a picture made in fourth grade, displayed proudly on the refrigerator door, remembering lovingly. That’s my little girl. And there this picture prominently displayed resides to this day because…. That’s my little girl.

The other day my "little" girl called me and told me about an interview that she and her friend had had with a newspaper reporter, pictures taken and all, and the article ran in the paper complete with picture. She called and told me about it, of course, and then she broke my heart by saying..laughingly, "That's the first time in a long time that my picture's been hanging on a refrigerator." It was a bittersweet moment, and the picture you've shown us that your little girl made still proudly presented on your fridge touched that spark in my heart too..thanks for sharing this, and I bet she's involved in some sort of creative endeavor, because even back then she shared her Daddy's eye for art. :)PJ

So that's where you learned how to make those wonderful graphics! It's really amazing that you have had it up there all this time. I have cardboard boxes of stuff in my closet from all five of my kids, so look who's talking.

There must be countless "fridges" around this country with similar "works of art" that are treasured. I'm wishing all those people could see your marvelous presentation and read your ever so touching tribute to your "little girl". What a poignant brightspot in my day. Frank ... this is truly a gem of a posting.

Picture Purrrfect . A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!! Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!
