Unnamed Wooden Cross

June 24th 2009 marks the day may late father would have turned 83 years young.
Born in England on June 24th 1926 he immigrated to Canada in 1952.
Dad landed in Hamilton Ont. and landed a job with a auto parts company soon after.
I don't know for how long he worked in Hamilton but he soon found his way out west to Saskatchewan.
This is were he met my mother, mom left him some 36 years later and he remarried.
I have visited unnamed grave sites near or close to his birthday every year for the past 6 years, his last wife
had him dug up (he was cremated) and took off with him. I don't know where she is or dad.
Every year I get a moment of piece with someone at a unnamed cross, I think of them and dad.........
Rest In Peace Dad....we still love you.......
