Taylormadecards4u Fathers Day Passport Kit-Gone Fishin
Welcome Back Friends,
My father has been gone a long time, 21 years this August. However, I have the dearest memories of him, I will carry forever. He was a firefighter/paramedic for the city of Akron Ohio for 30 some years. He loved his job. and was good at it. As a kid, I had no idea, of course, all that went with his job. The stress and hard work are what I suppose lead to a escape . He loved to veggie garden and fishing was a regular for him. I have some wonderful memories of our fishing excursions from beginning to the end. If my father was off on a Sunday, that was our day at the lake, my mother a Sunday school teacher, would remind us that our attempts to catch fish would not be fruitful, because we were absent from church! Funny thing, on Sundays we never had any fish in our bucket.
My Father passed his love off to my son, who is also a firefighter/paramedic for the city of Strongsville and loves to fish with his two sons! I am so thankful that my father shared his passions with my son, who is now passing them on too my two grandson. Proud mother and grandmother, right here!
As I was working with the Fathers Day Passport kit-Gone Fishin, which can be found here :

I enjoyed a walk down memory lane, fun days with my father and recalling my sons and grandsons fishing stories!
I hope your enjoyed my project. Thank You for your support and kind comments. I also wanted to note, I used the Tackle Box and card pattern from Fast Wagon.
Until next time......
Robin

Delete*clapping* Well done Robin! What a terrific tribute to your dad. It sounds like you made some awesome memories and the tradition continues. Your project is so dang clever. I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteThank You so very much Wendy! You are my idol!!! That means a lot! My Dad was my rock. I miss him, however, I have many great memories, as does my son. My parents were very involved in my son's life, hence his love for fishing, and the many trips they made to fire station to "drive the truck"
