I realise this is a late tribute to my step dad but he was such a lovely man to me and the entire family, he's greatly missed.

My mum's still in a state of shock and is forgettable and over sensitive. Fortunately she's well looked after by the family and friends in her church, however it's still a disappointment to me to see her in this state.

I just wanted to add his photograph to my gallery.

I can see in his Face that he was a lovable soul by all who knew or met him. There should be more folks like him in the World.

Sorry for your Loss Phil. Great Tribute to your Step Dad.

Condolences to you and your family Phlossie.
You can see the kindness in his face.
He would be honored you thought enough of him to include him in your gallery.

He looks like a kind person Phil. A nice tribute to your stepfather. Dementia in old age is not uncommon but al least your mother is in good hands.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
