A Treasured Find

2 1/2 years ago, my father past away .  I miss him every day..every day.  Over these past few years, there have been many a time when I had one more question, wanted one more hug, or just hear his voice.  He had a great voice.  Also over these past few years, My siblings and I have worked to clean out and organize his things.  We each had things that we brought home.  Mostly for practical use.   The truly treasured items remained with Mama.  I do have his first Dulcimer that he built.  I have one of his tool boxes, and I have his hand saw from childhood.

Daddy was big on having enough stuff apparently.  I've brought home spray paints, varnishes, tools, envelopes, folders, Blank DVDs etc.  As we speak I'm typing this blog post on one of his many gadgets; a lap top.  I named it "Daddy's", because it was and will ever be.  Daddy was big on gadgets too.  Unbeknownst to me, one of those gadgets contained a treasure.  A treasure trove!



It's a digital camera.  I had brought this home last year and it had remained in it's box, unused, because it was on standby for when my camera bit the dust.  There he is above with said camera.

Yesterday I broke the memory card in my camera. It was in my laptop because I had been downloading shop pictures.  I bumped it, and well...There ya go.  I ordered another one on Amazon, but then got to thinking about the box holding Daddy's old camera.  In this box were extra memory cards too.  Yay for saving, but not the treasure I'm writing about.  I did, however, start looking at the camera.  Just out of curiosity, to see how it worked.  In it, I found another memory card.  I figured out how to work the camera, and saw what I thought were pictures of our last Christmas together in 2015.  WOW!

Today, or I should say this morning, I set about downloading what I thought were pictures, onto my laptop.  They aren't pictures, but rather short video clips of our last Christmas together.  Daddy is no where to be seen, being behind the camera you see.

But I hear him....I hear his voice as he talks to us; when he talks to Rusty, their dog.  He's there.  Just on the other side of my computer screen.  That's my treasure.  That's my find.

Don't worry, this find will be shared.
