"Brought to you by the letter F" by Amanda

DateMonday, March 8, 2010 at 5:00AM

Hmmm. What to say? I'm one of those who likes grouping things together. This challenge, then, was right up my alley. I started by simply trying to think of words that really described who my dad was. Discovering that they all started with "F" made it easy...

You can read the journaling by clicking on the layout to view it larger. Beyond that, I just wanted to say that one of the things I love most about this blog is how the challenges provide a starting point. We all have so much bouncing around in our heads...often (for me, anyhow), it's figuring out where to start that is the most difficult. Once I have a starting point, things flow more easily and I'm able to capture some of my thoughts and stories about my dad. I love that. :)

Please remember to link us up in the comments of the original post if you complete this challenge. We'd love to see your interpretation and always appreciate you letting us get to know your loved ones better!

This is one of my favorite LOs of yours, Amanda. Love the combining of F words - seems to be how he lived his life!
