What a poignant story! It's nice you have those happy memories. The pictures are so lovely! I have found that food is such a strong memory of childhood. Excellent family dishes that were part of some tradition take on legend status. Thanksgiving at my grandparents' house in the central valley of California is legend for me. It is still my favorite holiday because of those memories, especially the food, and I can't exactly duplicate the spread no matter how I try. Thanks for posting this, it was a fun read. Blessings on you, and a toast to your dad.

A Birthday Observation - and a Passage
What is so interesting when you consider it, is that those around you or perhaps your own children will feel the very same way about you. That is the one great thing about being a parent, in most cases the love for you is unconditional so long as you are loving them through whatever may come. Love is circular it just flows around and around and can consume you if you let it. For me, it is Christ and the Holy Spirit flowing all around me. Just like denmarkguy, I felt his love in the first post of his that I came across and that is why I started to follow him. I just love steemit! Such a great outlet. My parents both died of cancer when I was a very young adult. That is why i did so much research in holistic medicine, knowing there had to be a better way.
Love and Peace,
Melissa

Thanks for sharing @debouched! You're right, food is a very strong childhood reminder... it's what I remember most of many things, from Christmas to my dad's birthday to other things we used to do.
