Posted on June 13, 2019 by Sherri Matthews

A huge thank you once again to wonderful Sally Cronin for sharing the third of my archive memoir posts,and also her lovely and touching introduction. I’m greatly humbled to re-share this post written in 2013 about my dear old dad, three years before he passed away. With Father’s Day approaching it’s a good time to say thanks for the great memories, Dad…I miss you ❤ Have a great weekend all and Happy Father’s Day to all you great dads and granddads out there…you rock! I’m off to the Blogger’s Bash in London and hope to get some good pics. See you soon! Love Sherri x

      Aww, thank you so much, Charli ❤ I'm grateful for the chance to have written these posts with his full blessing…as he once told me, "I'm an open book to you…" Though frustratingly, I wish he could have remembered more from his younger years! ❤
