journaling reads (more or less)
I still reach for the phone to call him when I have a question,
feeling low or super happy, anything was a reason to call him,
and he would only be too pleased to chat… we had named him
"prolongador" which means extension in English but it doesn't
quiet fit in a different language, but the anecdote would be that
if you asked Dad what the square root of number 46 was, he would likely start at the origins of maths to explain, and we all would LOL with examples, thing is, all his long chats, the disciplinary ones (he was a visionary whom in the 60s never put a hand on us and was doing the "time out" that the "nany" in the Tv programs pretended to be a new thing) the ones where he gave advise on medical issues or whatever the thing was, all these talks brought us up to be the people we are now, proud and full of love… I so wish he was still on the other side of the phone…

TFL!!!

I can't read the journaling - but are these letters between you and your dad? How precious to have them. Love the large photo and amazing clustering on top.
 
@ashleywb sorry, Ash, I just transcribed it, if you want to read...and no, the image is a stock photo, I so so very much wish I had them...in the 80s I was moving cities a lot, there were no computers , well not a personal level, so we would talk on the phone and write....if there is something that I treasure after he is gone, is the fact that he many times told me how much those letters gave him joy in his heart, and once he even explained how somehow it was validation.... I was up and down a lot on Faith and believing.... and he was the one who always would take time to give me the strength and finding the answers or just teach me that there was no answer needed.....so much in those letters...I so wish really I was able to keep them.. I lost a LOT in my 20s when I was traveling a lot, so much that I have so very little n matter of photos of so many years of stage performing.... anyway, I better go get on with what I need to do and not bore you anymore LOL Huge huggzz!!!
 
This is amazing! I love the photo of the closeup of all the letters and the journaling is so heartfelt. Simply beautiful in every way!
 
@Angela Toucan thanks !!!! I keep forgetting he isnt with us anymore and keep reaching for the phone to call him.... m`aking the pages kind of brings me closer to him :)
@HeatherB thank you thank you thank YOU! You know I'm in tears (of joy of course!) by now,,,, means the world to me!!!!!!!!!! huge huge huggz you both!!!!
