My dad is getting up there in years and has a bad case of Parkinson's and I don't have many pictures of just him and me together. Then one day it hit me: He has a black '79 'vette that he LOVES tinkering with (since he can't really drive anymore, he tinkers). I have a black '13 Camaro that I love to drive and tinker with. SO why don't I get dad to park the 'vette next to the Camaro, with the two of us standing in front of the cars. Kind of a father & son/father & son thing (me and dad / Corvette and Camaro).

He thought it was a neat idea so I started last night polishing out his 'vette (I haven't touched it in a few years and man is it swirled). Mine was detailed this past Friday, so It should only need a WW or something similar if the dust & pollen are kept to a minimum.

My dad's car doesn't leave the garage if it's raining two states away or if the driveway is wet. 5 minutes BEFORE these pics were taken it was snowing (yes, snow in May - hey, it's Ohio). But the sun came out, it got warm and the driveway dried off. TWO MINUTES AFTER the pics were taken, the skies got dark and opened up again and it snowed like crazy ... he had barely gotten it back in the garage before it could be "pounded" by snowflakes.

Good times Don. Great to see you took the time and got those shots too. I lost my father just over 2yrs ago and it was the toughest time for me. I cared for him for the last 12 months and while those months had some of the most difficult moments for me they were also filled with the very best. Even the tough ones are cherrished as odd as that may seem. It was an honor for me every day.

Keep taking those pics and spending time with him. Even if it's just taking in a ball game on TV while you sit together. I wish I could that just one more time.

All the best.

What a great idea!
And by the weather sounds like it was meant to be :)
 
Nice picture idea. You must live by me then because it snowed for me while I was polishing our boat getting ready to go in the water.
