Today would have been my Dad's 86th Birthday. We lost him to a sudden stroke two weeks ago. He was a man who was strong in his christian faith, married to Mom for over 60 years, a loving mentor, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was kind to all he met. T his blog has been primarily about Kathie but my Dad always prayed for his daughter-in-law. He and my Mom visited Kathie and shared many of the orchids with Kathie and the Staff. He was also very thankful that during the months after our accident, he and my Mom were able to care for their granddaughters after school. Mom and Dad had the strength and health to visit our house every weekday. The four of them became very close and I enjoyed marveling at their relationships, jokes and discussions when I came home from work. I lived 60 years with a great man, we miss him, Dave & Kathie
