We have an intense experience coming up this summer together.

So sorry for you, but I know the grit you are made of--remember, I knew your father. I wish I could hear him one more time, railing against something or other, including himself ("Old Crocks") or making some other pithy comment. <br /><br />My best wishes to you and your family in this time of bittersweet gathering--especially to your mother.<br /><br />My pledged donation to your flight is in honor of your father.<br /><br />Regards,<br />MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-76490732514390526172010-05-05T16:54:56.219-04:002010-05-05T16:54:56.219-04:00Helen -

I hope you find comfort in the fact that your father lived a long life - that he got to see more years than many have the privilege of seeing - and that he loved and was loved. I hope you rejoice and celebrate that.<br /><br />And I am also very sorry about your shed.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602858037457458688noreply@blogger.com
