I haven't posted much since leaving for Christmas break on the 15th of December. Time just hasn't allowed much writing this past month.

Dave's mom passed away this week, at the too young age of 74. Although she was imprisoned by Alzheimer's, and the outlook was not going to improve, when it happened it was swift. It is not an easy thing to lose both your parents in 15 months.

Below is a picture taken in September 2005, hugging one of her granddaughters. She didn't know she was Grandma, she just knew she was loved. This was the last time my children got to see their grandmother, although her memories of her grandchildren were gone years before.


There is a season for every life. Enjoy each season. Spend time with your family, your friends. Listen to stories you might not get to hear in the next season. Love one another. God be with you until you meet again.
