For a while, I am going to depart from my usual blog topics. I have so many words that have been piling up inside me that need to come out. So many feelings, memories and thoughts have accumulated as a result of the loss of my Dad. I just need to let some words flow. The first entry dedicated to his memory is September 9, 2011 entitled A Grateful Heart & The End of an Era. The ones that follow will, for a while, be some of my favorite memories.
