Remembrances and the Neptune

Dad was part of the brine. And the brine was part of him.
Cancer may have taken him, but it did not silence his courage.

I am touched. My father is also no longer with us. He passed away four years ago. He is not perfect, but he is the best for us. Your photograph is lovely, Melissa. It is the best way to remember our beloved father that was gone in our sight but not in our heart.

Your words tell us so much about your dad Melissa and are a lovely tribute to him. I too hope you get to see your mum soon, this has really been the worst of times for families.

Your picture and its description touches all of us, Melissa. Love and loss are a deep part of our lives, and your Dad must have been very special. Was your King Conch story also about your actual dad? Did he read any of your stories before he died? He must have been extremely proud of you.

To die in your 60s is absolutely too young and absolutely unfair. Yes, you will miss him the rest of your life – but the memories will become sweeter over the years and the gratitude for everything he was and still is (alive in you and your children) will grow deeper. My Dad died at 95, and I still thought that was too young. It does seem, however, that he is still… Read more »

A wonderful tribute, Melissa. And, a special photo as he looks out on something he loved.  ?

Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
