What a nice "send-off" for a Dad that was obviously loved.
Tomorrow is the same date my father passed and the other odd thing is that I was born in Burgersdorp and my Dad was the " distriks geneesheer" - local GP in town. I lived near the hospital and have similar pictures of the blockhouses etc from a previous visit. My old man died in PE when I was 11 but I think that given the choice.. I would have loved to send him off in this way.
Im sorry to hear about your Dad, but Im sure he enjoyed his last spiritual journey with you.
I cant tell you how much you made me want to go riding right now when I saw your photos.
