11. What a lovely tribute. I'm sorry for

Aug 2013

your loss, and thank you for sharing him with us. My own Dad is turning 74 this year, and he's still robust and healthy, and in my mind he's not old at all, will never be.....but I'm just starting to begin thinking things like he's reaching the age where health can go south real quick. I can't even fathom my father passing away, let alone imagine the possibility of that being a mere six years away.

Thank you for reminding me to start making the most of the time left. May you find solace in your memories.
