I can almost picture your Dad’s pants!

I had a sweet encounter at a garden center yesterday. I was looking over some beautiful dahlias when I heard a woman who sounded just like my mom. I turned to see one of the workers helping an elderly lady. They were chatting away, just like my Mama used to do. It was a nice moment for me. Mom passed in 2017. She’s the one who had the first passion for flower gardening. Miss her!

I miss my parents every day. Mom passed in 2007. I have comfort knowing I will see them again. And that I got the best from both of them. My nature is what I learned from them.

I actually have a small photo of him in those pants that I haven’t seen in a couple of decades. I still have 3 bins of photos that are not digital. Did a quick search as we are headed out soon. This link shows a pair that was pretty close. Dad’s were more yellowish and of course dirtier even though they had been washed a million times.

I’m sure he found them at a second hand store.
