IN MEMORIAM – John Lawrence Oliver White

HAPPY memories of a winter spent at Cotton’s Cottage in Kwazulu-Natal in the very early 70s …. Me, my dad, my baby sister and brother. And yep, fish .

We lost our dad five years after this photo was taken. I still miss him.

Today is his birthday. And I feel him near.

   I’m sorry Loreth. I know the feeling – I go through it each year on the date of my dad’s birth and death. I like to think that the ones we love never really leave us. (((Loreth)))

   Thank you guys … the memories are happy ones. And Bailey, they can’t really leave us (poor souls … because they are a part of us, of who we are. And so they live on, in our hearts.

   Can I have the hat to wear while I read Jack Canfield’s book !
   We can learn a lot from our DD’s ! Congratulations to your DD.
   I saw those flowers by the bench as I peddled past for many days and I wondered how they lasted that long and stood so beautifully upright.
