Marion Conner Sr.
March 15, 1913
February 13, 1987
There's not a single day... that goes by, I don't think of Dad.
: )
A Dozen... times, a day.
<3
While visiting with Nephew, John...{Brother, Sonny's Son} last week, then... later in the week, meeting him, with two of his Sisters, Sharon, and Beth... along with Sister, Jo Ann's Daughter, Julie...
at little Watering Hole, in CR, oh my.
: )
Dad... was The Center Attraction of my Nephew, and Nieces.
<3
They shared Memories... and, wanted to soak up... Every Story, concerning Dad.
<3
We could've talked for Days.
; )
{It's a 'Conner' Thing. : )
Conner's have been described Often... as having 'The Gift of Gab'.}
Indeed.
: )
Dad... was Quite a Character.
<3
Larger than Life.
A Risk Taker... to a Fault.
Kind... Generous, and Fair...
also...
to a fault.
<3
I've only known a couple of Men, in my life that worked as hard as Dad.
One...
was
John.
<3
I don't see, 'visit'... with Family, often.
The Nieces and Nephews, are all about my age, or older.
Mom was 43 when I came along, Dad... was 50.
Dad... referred to me, as... 'The Caboose'.
<3
Most of my Siblings... could've been my parents.
: )
As we all were visiting at The Watering Hole... last week, Beth said...
"I never saw you as my 'Aunt', you were always more... like a cousin."
: )
I... didn't respond.
; )
Here's The Deal...
Beth's Dad... Brother, Sonny... and, me, along with Jo Ann, and Joy, were Raised...
First Generation...
'Marion Conner'.
; )
I'm So Very Proud of That.
<3
Insanity... Hard Work, Struggles... Beyond, and, often... a whole bunch of
Shenanigans.
<3
The second generation... doesn't have a clue, respectfully... on all they've missed, and...
All... they've reaped rewards from that 'Crazy'...
Fighting...
Risk Taking...
'First'...
Marion Conner...
Generation.
<3
I Do.
<3
Grateful.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

{Lara's Theme from Dr. Zhivago was Dad's favorite tune.
I insisted the organist play that tune,
Non-Stop... throughout Dad's Funeral. }
