Stocking Cap for my Daddy....

[teakaycee]

Dont know why I never shared this... other than I wasnt sure how folks would feel about it... but I'm taking a chance....

In this thread I have a request for help making stocking caps...

Well... because my daddy was the giving man that he was ... he never got a chance to make himself a stocking cap. Every cap he knitted he gave away ... to nurses... doctors... and patiants. Through all his pain while in the hospital... he still thought of others. Its really what kept him going. Seeing the smilie on their face and the twinkle of joy in their eye was all he needed.

Well.. this last winter ... it was really bothering me that he never got a stocking cap. So I decided that just because he wasnt here anymore ... didnt mean he couldnt still have one... so I knitted him his very own special cap.

This is the front

This is the back

and this is daddy wearing his cap...

What a beautiful, loving thing to do for your Father. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and please know that this has really touched me today. What a wonderful man your Father must have been to raise such an outstanding Daughter.

Omgoodness... thank you for your lovely reply! My daddy was a 'one of a kind' giving man. His heart was so full of love it spilled over into everything he did or said! Even while spending the last 8 months of his life in a hospital ... he still managed to put on a smile everyday and bring joy to someone elses life! Everyone tells me the missing him gets easier with time... so far I have found it harder.

What a lovely tribute.

Thank you!!!!

for sharing your story. It sounds like your Dad was a great guy. His daughter is great also. Both of my parents are now gone and have been for quite a few years - Mom in 1981 and Dad in 1984 - I still miss them to this day. The pain does ease but certain memories can bring back the intensity of the pain. :hug
