I would want to remember such beautiful curls, too!

Bollebygd - Sweden

Thank you very much Carol for your words. It is all images of my father. on the first he was one year, on the next they went to the photographer just before he started school. In school the children had to cut their hair short, so I guess the parents wanted a photo of his long curled hair.

This is a fantastic work of art and fine homage, fine words! - V/F

You say this is no masterpiece, but I would differ in this sense. A life is a masterpiece, unfinished forever because we never know the ripples we've created and sent outward. I especially like the film strip where your father ages gracefully, and the center image of the men with their musical instruments. The musical staffs, the images of You (I assume), and the violin so beautifully positioned with music being central to all. You have described my relationship to my father to a "T" - I bet your Dad was a genius - they seem to be capable of deep love but not capable of expressing it well. So poignant. V/F

Beautiful tribute Gun and one I can relate to. Before my mother passed away, I used to say, "please don't leave me alone here with him." I think she left first on purpose to force us to have a better relationship.

Lakeland, FL - United States

Gun this is so lovely, and I disagree, it is truly a masterpiece. And I know just creating it was balm for your soul. I know that looking at it is very soothing to my senses.

You are too kind! Thanks for your words Sandra!

Glenview, IL - United States

This is incredible Gun. You reached a level that I can only aspire to with this image. Fabulous, sensitive, insightful, I could go on and on.

Rosy, you are so right when you said it was for me the forgiveness was essential. I could say goodbye, feeling it was life as it is, when he went. I felt just peace and no grieving. Thanks for your words!

Melbourne - Australia

Gun this is a beautiful tribute, perhaps you are too close to the subject to see just how wonderful a tribute it is. Forgiveness is always for us :) and I'm so glad for *you* that you were able to achieve this. However difficult he was, he sounds quite amazing and you are the one who has revealed that in your writing. "His hands knew" what a beautiful and moving phrase. VF

Dear Vivian, I thank you for your wonderful comment, I really appreciate your words!

Sydney, NS - Australia

A beautiful testimonial , Gun.....whether you knew it or not, you would have pleased him, and I'm sure he understood you better than yourself, Fathers are like that, even if they don't communicate well....this is such a loving though beautifully, artfully expressed...well done for accomplishing this memento - peace to you both. (My Dad loved his violin,too...they are a special breed-on a higher plane).

Description:

Kind of remembrance of my father
He passed away eleven years ago
94 years of age
The passion of his life was violins
He played, but not so well
but he built them, even in his last years
At age 92 he made his 54th violin
He could not see, he could not hear
but his hands knew
Our relation was not so good,
guess I was not an easy child,
and he surely was no easy father to deal with.
Not until his last year in life
I could look at him with forgiveness and love
So I felt I had to do this image
for my own sake
It is no masterpiece,
just a collage of pieces
in a square frame,
a little like him :-)

Peace to you, my father!
