Fathers

A while back I did a photo shoot of fathers and sons. If I had all my fathers and sons re-installed I would most definitely have done another one. Since that isn't going to happen today I am going to focus on one man, maybe an unlikely candidate for father of the year given his past, but in my eyes he is perfect.
I chose this particular image because of recent conversation about his son and a certain rock star's daughter. Nature Boy, who missed the opportunity to get the girl by chasing bugs instead needed a bit of a talk from his father who knows a good deal about getting the girl. Maybe it was a talk that happened a little too late for the girl in question but I assure you, the boy was an apt pupil.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, fictional, pixelated, and real. You all deserve a little sugar today.

  1. This is wonderful! Thank you so much. Rafe might have come to fatherhood with not much in the way of a great model, but he certainly never gives up, and he learns fast. One of my favorite people ever...

  2. If anyone had reason to fail at parenting it would have been Rafe. Instead he became everything to his children that he never received as a child. He deserves to be featured in this post.

Thanks for leaving me your thoughts ~ they always mean a lot.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
