Tough Times - Peace and Strength

Dad,

4 years today old man, and it still seems like yesterday.  Guess it will always be that way, eh?

Traded some email with Jan yesterday and this evening.  Glad she and Barney made it over there.  Made me realize, that even in these very tough times that precluded my travel to ATL this year, I still can hear you whispering in my ear encouragement, fuel and grist to keep grinding.  Keep pushing.  I can hear that, and it helps, and so little does these days.

So thanks again old man.  You were always there for me, and today more so than ever.  I love you, and will never, ever forget you.
