I've been wanting to do a photo shoot...
with my Mom...
Saturday was the last of the $1.00 days...
at the Dallas Arboretum....
$1.00 each to get in...
plus $10 to park...
so we got up early...
headed that way....
my Mom was a wonderful model...
a real natural....
we had a lot of fun...
lots of laughter...
which was good.....
we found out when we got there...
My Uncle Don had passed away Friday evening...
which is my Mom's oldest brother...
it made for a nice distraction...
made us enjoy the beauty around us even more...
My Uncle Don was a man amongst men...
He was good looking...good hearted...
hard working...good to his family...
good to everyone around him...
he loved John Wayne...
he reminded me of John Wayne...
My Mom was 5 or 6 when their Dad died...
my Uncle Don took over that role for my Mom...
he was a big influence in her life...
he will be greatly missed....
always with a smile...
a firm hand shake...
a hug like a bear...
Love you Uncle Don....
say hello to our Lady bug when you get to Heaven....
a firm hand shake...
a hug like a bear...
say hello to our Lady bug when you get to Heaven....
