It was six years ago today that Gail died. It was the end of a long painful journey for her where she endured surgeries, injections and way too many dr appt. As family mourned her death we knew that life must go on but it would never be the same.
And today life is so different. Everyone in the family has seen much change. John and Mary moved out of Minnesota and added Elspeth to their family. Travis has seen much change in his life. Aaron and Amy now live in a different house and have added Ruby to their family. Cynthia and Mike have added Benedict, Agatha and Veronica to their family and now have a great house in a different city--but near! I have been blessed to remarry and have a wonderful wife. Terry and I have traveled far and wide, seen much and have done much.
In the last six years I have seen many friends, some who have been younger than me, die. Every time I experience the death of someone I know it is like a knife in my heart but life does go on and I am thankful for a God who has looked after me and is so good. Each morning I wake up I thank God for Terry, my children, my grandchildren, friends and for my life. I deserve nothing but am so thankful for all I have.
Here we are at July and the months is Dave's. An outstanding father, dad, woodworker and a man of God he had it all. We miss him.
