HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD...

December 1, 1922 a great man was born, my Dad. Yup, today he is 88 years old. What a lot he has accomplished in his lifetime. But most important, what a wonderful person he is and has been to everyone that has known him. Yesterday he returned to the nursing home and was entered into Hospice. It was a very hard decision, but the time has come. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and friendship, it means the world to me.
So, until next time...
