Our Dad

These last five months, I have been very busy spending time with Dad. He was ninety and we learned this past summer that he had acute leukemia. These are times that I will always treasure. He was so appreciative for life and nature and everything that my sister and brother and grandchildren and myself did for him.

He never lost his love for life and nature. Every weekend he looked forward to going to our country property, sitting outside by a fire, and looking up at the sky through the branches of our huge live oak trees.

He was a very religious man and loved the outdoors. Last Saturday, he was very weak and passed from us that night at his home, with his children by his side. We will miss him very much, but still feel his presence and love for his family, friends and nature. I miss you Dad!
