There's nothing like growing up in Mississippi with a "Southern Man" Dad !


Today is Father's Day!


I feel like I have been blessed with the most wonderful Dad in he world (for me).
Of course, as a southern girl, he has always been and always will be "Daddy".
I always joke that I didn't even know that I had a mother until I was 15 years old.
The truth of the matter is that I had and still have a more -than- fabulous, truly southern belle mother who is the hostess -with -the mostest ! Martha Stewart has nothing on her!  It's just that, until I was in my teens, my whole world absolutely revolved around my Daddy! He was my world ..and I absolutely just KNEW that he hung the moon !
My Dad has shaped so much of who I am ...and what I do!
I love my Daddy ! You can see that in SO many of my poems!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy! 





















Dr. James H. Neely received his Bachelor's degree in 1955 from Kentucky State University, formerly Kentucky State College with a major in chemistry and a minor in math and French. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Meharry Medical College (Nashville, TN) in 1960


You can find these poems and many more in my "little books of southern poems"

  1. This is lovely! If your dad hung the moon, my dad hung all of the stars :). He treated me like the princess that I was and he was and still is my king. I am so thankful to have had a loving and attentive dad. I know that that is not a reality for everyone and realize that I am truly blessed to have the memories that have! Thanks for sharing your memories with us!
