    Me and my dad!

    Since my mom needed so much special care, dad hadn't been to the seaside in ages. Since mom passed away in December, he is doing so great in going on with his life!
    He is 86, so it is not that easy really!

    Last weekend we invited him to our appartment in Ostend. He loves Ostend; he lived there with mom and all kids (ecept me--> I am born later on).
    He was very happy to come! He drove nearly 50 km to be with us!! What a man hey....

    Here are a few pics of his visit!!











    few more coming up!!
    I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge

    How lucky to have your Dad. I envy you. I lost mine way too soon.

    He looks great for his age.

    What a handsome man your father is. He is lucky to have a daughter such as you to include him in your vacation plans.

    How nice that your dad had a good time and how thoughtful of you to see to it that he got it. He looks wonderful, not at all his age!
    Blessings,
    Mary

    That is just awesome. I agree, very handsome and dapper too! My dad is also 86. I am very fortunate to still have he and mom and count my blessings every day for that!

    It looks like you had a lovely day and what a nice smile he has! Thanks so much for sharing.

    Doesn't he look just great... and don't the both of you look like you are having just the greatest time!

    Death thought about it.

    Your Dad looks great! Much younger looking than his actual age. How wonderful that he gets around so well and obviously remains active. I'm sure it was great being able to spend such valuable time together and you both enjoyed every moment of it.

    When you next see him, would you give Dad a nice hug from me?

    I was going to post this even before you asked - you and your Dad have the same smile! That's a nice thing to share, don't you think?

    I think your Dad is a HUNK! Very handsome and he sure don't look his age! Looks like he has stayed in good shape too. Bet those old ladies are beating a path to his door! LOL! It is wonderful that you still have him...

    How very dapper and old world charm he looks. A very sophiscated looking man. Was he well educated? He looks it.

    Your Dad's a hunk...send him on over the pond

    I hope he is doing okay with the loss of your Mother, I am sure on one hand it is somewhat of a relief not to watch her suffer and have to care for her but on the other hand he has lost the woman he loves.

    Edited to add...I forgot to say Lut..you look very thin!
