Today would have been my Dad’s 82nd Birthday instead it will be his memorial. We are off to Midhurst for a lunch with family and friends to remember him. Mixed emotions and thoughts today, and my 23rd flower is not quite what I would have chosen. However you will recall I had decided for my ‘Square in September’ challenge to share each photograph in the order they were taken – so an Iris it is for you today Dad. Perhaps though it is a perfect choice, serendipity even, as Dad’s Mum was called Iris. My Dad adored his Mum and she was an amazing Nana. Thinking of you both xx

One anniversary follows another, Becky, but it’s good to celebrate your Dad’s life. I’m sure he’d have liked your Iris. 🙂 🙂 I do!

So glad you like 🙂 and yes I think you are right he would have done. Saturday went well, was what Mum wanted and so many of the guests enjoyed.

They did thank you Anabel . . . I did feel a little bit disconnected from it all which was a most strange feeling but my Mum was so happy with how it went that buoyed me through the day xx
