Dear 2020:

In prophetic fashion, we learn the most from that which challenges us the greatest and challenge you did indeed. But even in your finest hour of provocation- you taught us what is most important-each other. You taught us to appreciate the simplicity of living, our great outdoors. You taught us to walk back from the busy schedules, the travel and you allowed us to spend valuable time with those we love the most-family.

Today marks your 87th Birthday Dad. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. That I'm not reminded of our last conversation together which you punctuated with

Dad’s View of the Eastern Sunrise. His early morning shift surprise.
