A Harvest Moon Moment

For those that I haven't had the blessing with me sharing the story about my Dad Richard and the harvest moon. I will share it here with you. My Mom, Richard, and I were on our way back from Newcastle one night and on our way I spotted the moon and I had never seen the moon like that before it was huge and so bright red and orange. I was in awe of it. Shortly after it disappeared I was bummed out that I could look at it longer. After awhile I told my parents that I had never seen the moon like that. My dad said really!? I said Yeh I haven't that is the neatest moon I ever saw. He turned the truck around and drove back at least for 10 or more minutes to find the moon for me again. Then we just sat in the truck and took it all in. He told me it was called a harvest moon and I am sure he shared some other things he knew about it and why it was that color because he always knew so much! Just sitting there and looking at the amazing moon I thought to myself this man would give me the world if he could! This is one of those moments with him I will never ever forget and one that I am so grateful for!

This is the first harvest moon they ever saw!

They were in awe as you can tell. My girls have always loved to look at the moon!

This was before my Dad passed away.

I can't wait until they are older and I can tell them the story about Papa Richard and the harvest moon! They know their Papa is amazing but the memories I get to share; with the blessing of having him as my dad; will only get sweeter as I get to share them as they get older! Memories are my sweetest treasure now! By the way Dad I will tell them about you all the time trust me we talk about you everyday! You will only get more precious with time! I love you!
