I attended a memorial service for a family member's parent on Saturday. It was beautiful, touching, warm.

I talked to a young man, the grandson of the woman whose life was celebrated.

Top hat kind of life

I paid for the wedding reception yesterday.
I forgot how to spell such big words such as thousand.

Father and friend

Dedicated, Durable. Distinguished.
Always loving, caring, protective, helpful, encouraging, joking, comforting, wise.
Deeply rich in family.

All things new

Today starts a new day for a young woman I have been connected with since her birth 27 years ago.

She graduates college today.

Project, Dad and time

In the middle of a project at work and there was a presence. It was him. Yes, Dad was checking in.

He is home

It is over.

Dad passed away April 30, 2014, 3:31 p.m.

A man's love for God, family and country

God, family, country ... those are the three things Dad loved the dearest.

The size of your world

Your big world has been drastically reduced.

You no longer can get in your car and drive to the American Legion Post to meet up with the rest of the members of the honor guard.

Boy did I mess up

What if you are riding along on your journey and the apple cart gets tipped?

Love and life ...

How many levels of love are there?
