Father's Day Tribute

Once a year our hearts & minds turn towards some very important men in our lives. Fathers.

My dad, Allen Robert Nichols, became a father at a very young age. Married at 19, he was a father just 5 short years later. Here he is in 1950 holding my brother Bobby.

He was the best part of every day ! I absolutely loved and adored him. In fact, it was hard for me to keep my eyes off of him!

He was the best! He was very maternal and loving. I treasured every minute we spent together.
He took me to the daddy~daughter dinner & basketball game. I am a junior here, age 16.

It really was hard for him to give me up to another. He was the first man I ever loved!

My daddy was a colorful and unique individual. There certainly was no one like him ~
anywhere! I have nothing but love and tenderness in my heart when I think of him. For many, many years, he was my world !
