You woke me out of a sound sleep this morning, hours before the alarm was set to ring...you were desperately trying to tell me something...I wanted to hear you, to embrace you...to convince you you are loved, still.
And you are remembered, not just on this day, which would have been your 80th birthday, but every single day.
I don't know if you can see it, or feel it, or know it...but your soul is dancing, and lives on.
Sending you all our love, wherever you are...
You are loved. YOU ARE LOVED. You are loved.

I've never seen a close portrait photo of your father before. It's good to have a face now to go with the many stories.
I had a somewhat similar experience. The first Festival for the Ancestors in Japan after the Frank Sacherer memorial in the Valley, I dreamed two nights in a row that I was visiting again with his parents in San Francisco. We were sitting at the kitchen table in the sun room, talking and laughing for hours. I knew they were telling me they were happy with the way things had been handled.

Nice post and tribute, Lilabiene. If you plan on going to the facelift next year, maybe I will get to meet you then as I didn't quite "send" this past one.

You're not the only one waking up with odd stirrings.
Boomer and Dolt must've met by now.
Wouldn't that have been fun to see?
Dolt you have a handicap?
No, sir, only just me.
And Boomer may I ask, sir,
Are you able to climb five-three?
You are not exactly just stuck with leftovers, Odd.
I'm thankful we met and became friends this year.
Next one's going to be twice as nice.

I have a DOLT bolt hangar in my prize collections.. That tiny Chunk of Metal represents the Icon which represents us all. The mark of men is their legacies, and in this case they are all STELLAR...
Bills birth, Danos departure. Where would we be now, without them in our past?

Happy Birthday Bill!
That portrait of Bill is the first photo that Tom Frost ever took.
Handed Tom his Leica in 1960 and said take my picture. And what a fine picture it is.
