p.1 #1 · Of fine men.


Back in June I posted this https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1298899/0
Last week we lost the man I admired most and someone I'd not heard complain once in all my life, particularly the last few years since he was diagnosed with cancer. These are just some of the quick snaps I was able to grab during that period.

1 In early June, catching up on the football news.

2 Early 2013

3 With my son's partner, Karlie in early 2013

4 Holding back tears as he listened to a speech given by my daughter at his 95th birthday party

5 Snacking at a surprise birthday party for myself that he helped conspire in July.

6 The last image of dad I managed to grab. Watching the football on the tele with his brother, Ray who we lost about 2 weeks prior to dad and two days after his 97th birthday. I sneaked the chairs together before they sat down so I could get the shot.

7 Uncle Ray on the same day.

Hi Jay_Be...

What a remarkable set of photographs! Count yourself fortunate to have these two gentlemen as part of your life.

Despite the loss, you should be proud and happy that you were able to immortalize them through these photographs.

Thanks
Tom

Sorry for your loss Jay. I really like these and it made me feel a few things.

I complain too much.

I need to capture some images that are true representations of my family.

Like ShaneMD, I too complain too much. We're losing some of the wisest men among us. I've got no one from his generation in my life any more. I am sorry for your loss. Losing a father is just about the worst thing that can happen to a man.
