When you were born Feb. 20, I was elated. A lot of things ran through my mind at once when I thought about you, mostly pride and a plan to travel the length of the country twice in a weekend to see you.

Since I wrote to your sisters shortly after they were born, I thought I’d try to write down some things you might need to know about life.

They often look back with a focus on mistakes they made or how they can make this year better than the last.
This is not that kind of reflection. (more…)
I know I posted about my Pawpaw yesterday, but when you live 83 years and have as much wisdom as he did your life is full of stories. I thought I’d share one more. (more…)
