82 Years ago today my dad was born.

36 Years ago today my niece, Billie, was born. What a blessing she has been to our family!! She and her husband just moved back out this way — to the eastern edges of North Carolina. — Pray for them. Ed is being deployed to Iraq sometime in the next couple of months.

28 years ago today my nephew, Paul, was born. Last month his beautiful wife, Tasha, gave birth to their first child — a beautiful girl named Lorelei.

The Circle of Life keeps going ’round. Life moves on. We live, and even as those we love die, new life is breathed in.

Dad would be proud of his grandchildren. And of his great grandchildren.
