tagged together in 13 photos in 2017 dad + me showing 2017 only · show all years Mom couldn't stop crying because she kept thinking about how it was probably dad's last Christmas (it was). On our last night we took family pics by the tree. ...my dad's best friend Roger and his wife Bonnie for dinner. Roger is British and my dad's version of Grant. It was really sweet to watch them hang out and interact. (Sadly, Roger passed away just a few months after my dad in late 2018.) This ornament is really cute. Love looking back at old photos. (Who would've guessed that about me, right?) Compared to this flashback pic from the late 90s! Happy Thanksgiving from the Battjers! <3 ...of me saying goodby to my dad. <3 On Saturday I packed up and got ready to drive my new truck back up to NY. My mom took these lovely pics... My dad's brother Bruce and his two sons Chris & Steve all came to the hospital to visit my dad. All the Battjer boys in one place! Happy 70th, dad! But there's a whole separate entry for this trip! Dads 70th Birthday
