Description
This dedication is for Bakapo or better known as Barb and it was such a pleasure to do. Not just because I am finally over the flu. lol But because Barb is such a sweet and dear friend of mine and I was looking forward to this. Barb is so talented and can do so much from amazing Fractals that stop you in your tracks to wonderfully touching images in Daz Studio. Still I think a talent many of you don't know about is her ability to write stories and to express her ideas in such a elegant way that it literally draws you into them like your a part of it. This gift of her's really helped out when it came to doing this dedication for her. She described this scene that involved her Father Ed and then she told me that the reason this meant so much to her is because her Dad died 13 years ago this month. ( I have not included a lot of Dad's in my gallery and that is my fault, and something only my friend Jean-Luc probably understands why ) But Ed is one Dad I want to do my best for because of what a wonderful job he did in raising Barb. I'll use some lines from Barb's message to me so you can see her skill at writing.
My Day With My Daddy ( For Bakapo ) One of my favorite childhood memories was sitting in the backyard under our big maple tree with my Dad and my fluffy tiger cat named Muffy. It was a warm summer day, the kind of day that makes you feel lazy and slow. We sat in a couple of Adirondack lawn chairs, my feet couldn't even touch the ground the chairs were so big. We had some pale-green mind-flavored candy called mint juleps, ( I don't even think they make them anymore ), and we sat there chatting and laughing all afternoon eating chewy candy after chewy candy till the bowl was empty.... then we didn't want dinner, much to Mom's displeasure.
In my mind I saw Barb reaching for another candy from her Dad. I tried to capture this special moment Barb described with her Dad Ed and only hope that I have done decent for her and him. The only thing I might say is to those Dad's out there, and please hear me out. Don't put things like work or running around with your friends in front of your kids because that time you miss out with them is something you can never get back. If you have a little girl like Barb or a little boy try making time for them like Ed did for Barb. Trust me you will be leaving a impression on your child that they will never forget. Thanks,
Dave

What a wonderful image and sweet story, Dave. It was a good one for me to read as I've been thinking of my dad a lot lately. Today I saw the image that Sherrie did for her daughter Heather who going to Japan and it made me think of being in the Air Force, alone in Japan and getting a very special letter from my dad. Your work is always very good for making us think of our own childhoods and what is important in life. So much time is wasted on things we think are important and before we know it, an opportunity is lost. Here is a memory of one of the most important things in life, shared love. We are lost without it. You captured the moment beautifully as did Barb in her words. I love the shared glances, both knowing there is nowhere else they want to be. And of course, I love the cat. Looking smugly content in a way only cats can master. It is wonderful that you used Barb's words. I love how she remembered, so clearly, a day when nothing important happened and everything important happened. This is beautiful, and I'm glad I read it. It lifted my spirits tremendously. You're very right about Barb's work. The image she did on May 24th blew me away!

Superba immagine di un momento che non andrebbe mai perso ! Il tempo passato con i figli non è mai tempo perso e non so deve mai perdere occasione per farlo .Partecipare alla crescita dei figli è un bene impagabile , una fortuna da non perdere ! Superb image of a moment that should never be lost! The time spent with children is never a waste of time and I do not know should never missed an opportunity to do so. Participate in child rearing is a priceless asset, a blessing not to be missed!
