I did this portrait of Mum and Dad from a photo taken at their engagement. It was finished a few days before his death and so he got to see it completed, it was his gift to mum whose birthday was only a fortnight away at the time...This morning is the 9th anniversary of my father's passing, 7th July 2000 5.10am. As I go off to Mass to remember his soul, I wanted to link back to a posting I wrote about him 2 years ago. He was an extraordinary man and a blessed father, John Williams.
Our family, Dad, his mother Nana, Mum and myself and my sister Carmen.
Anne, what a gift you have! Just a gorgeous portrait! And may God Bless and comfort you as I'm sure you miss your father terribly. I said an Our Father for him today.
