Preslie will be 12 on Wednesday. In 2003, she was born the day before my dad's 77th birthday. They got to share 8 birthdays together and I'm grateful. He was mostly dad for all of those 8. I sure wish he was here to celebrate with us this year.
I remember taking this picture. It was in December, a few weeks before they'd share their next birthdays. He'd walked across the street for a short visit and sat down. Preslie climbed up on his lap and I snapped this picture. His face, the one he made when he'd love on one of the kids, makes me smile. He loved my babies. They loved him.
