A beautiful picture and more importantly a recent picture! (Thank you bob & yurika, this means more than you might imagine)
Time has been good to my boys and they look healthy and beautiful as I imagined (hoped) they would.
Somewhere locked in their memories I hope are the moments we shared, moments that include how gently and lovingly I held them in my arms. How much laughter we shared. How I learned to teach courageous souls to walk, run, jump, ride a bike, catch a ball, skate, roller skate, swim, play, tell a good joke, be forgiving, be loving, be curious, thoughtful and how they taught me what freedom comes from seeing them learn.
More importantly I hope we are learning what patience and perseverance comes from waiting and staying strong.
Oh how I love you both! Stay strong!
I thank you all for feeding my strength and keeping me strong. I have a recent picture and that is something.
Absence makes the heart grow stronger. My heart has often been tested but never more than in the past few years and the beat is getting stronger.
I love you my sons.
Love, Dad
