Mr Trona's Story of the Photographs of his Dad

As he posts his photos there is a story unfolding. Memories of his Dad as he was and is.


Excerpt from Photo posts

Great Sport
"This is actually a great memory. Dad and I spent some time together in Florida after a family Christmas in Texas, 1998. This is actually my Dad's playful side -- he loves to make silly faces, but traditionally has pretty much done so for me. Now, however, I'm honored to share.Anyway, here he's also seriously wondering, methinks, exactly how I talked him into giving Disney MGM's Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride a shot ! ;-) "

Cherish the Moment

Cherish the moment
as you live it
and it comes into being
the connection between
father and son
mother and father
mother and son.

Cherish it and photograph
it in your heart
and memory
it is connected to you
forever.

Be the Father

Be the Father you wanted

Fatherhood poster
Originally uploaded by gumbootspearlz.

As long as that father is kind

and gentle-

As long as that father knows when to be

father before friend

and when to be friend as well as father.

Take them on all the promised fishing trips

Don't end up becoming the father

in a Cat Steven's song.

Be the father you wanted

If you did not have the father you wanted

But if you did then you can be the father you had

perhaps even moreso if that is possible.

The Story of Firsts

Do you remember the first time in the snow
the first smile
the first time they said Dad?

Do you remember the first steps
the first food
the first time they said "love you"?
