Thinking Of My Dad

August is the month of my father's birth and death.  He died a few days before his birthday in 1977.  I was a daddy's girl who grieved and grieved---now in 2010, there's no sharp pain, but August will always be his month.  He was a civil engineer who served in the Navy Construction Battalion in WWII in the South Pacific.  He would never talk about it, but was deeply patriotic and emotionally connected to veterans.  I made this wall hanging of some of his SeeBee things for my son---who was born the same year Dad died.
