today, as I was making my lunch, I was reminded of my dad…

he loved sardines and would often make a sardine sandwich for his lunch when he was home…

when he worked he had a cheese sandwich every single day🤪…

back to the sardines, lol…

he would smash them up in a bowl with a fork and a bit of the oil from the container and then put the mix onto white bread…

I mashed mine up and then topped up some premium crackers with the mixture… tasty and went well with the cucumber, onion, tomato salad which I also made…

sweet memory;-)…

big girl pants, dad, effort, emphysema, memories, sardines, special

busy day… out and about early to get groceries and a few things for tomorrow’s dinner with the kids…

picked up sardines for lunch with some lovely herb and garlic bread…

made me think of my dad… he loved sardines and would mash them and put them on crackers…

he died on Good Friday in 1988… interesting that I would be thinking of him today…

 he was a very special person… in my entire life I never heard him raise his voice to anyone… you knew if he used a certain voice that you were in serious trouble… 

he looked after my mom who struggled with depression for the greater portion of her adult life… and he looked after us for many months of the many years she was in the hospital… 

I still remember driving him to and from work every day as he became more and more affected by emphysema…

he taught me that every individual ‘s effort should be celebrated… he had been a great athlete in his early days and we spent many hours at the arena watching sporting events where we always cheered for everyone’s performance… 

I still love to watch many sports on TV, lol…

lovely memories…
