For BDN
I woke before the morning, I was happy all the day,
I never said an ugly word, but smiled and stuck to play.
And now at last the sun is going down behind the wood,
And I am very happy, for I know that I’ve been good.
My bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair,
And I must off to sleepsin-by, and not forget my prayer.
I know that, till to-morrow I shall see the sun arise,
No ugly dream shall fright my mind, no ugly sight my eyes.
But slumber hold me tightly till I waken in the dawn,
And hear the thrushes singing in the lilacs round the lawn.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I shall remember you holding a new BD in your arms.
May a sweet slumber hold you tightly till we meet again - ADM

That is truly, the sweetest picture -- and the poem above it - - I melted. Thank you.
If only every father has a daughter that loves them the way you loved him. I can tell he was Special.
What a lovely picture, and a lovely post to remember what was obviously a special man.
God Bless.
