Good Morning Daddy..(1971)

The morning sun casts a brilliance over the white carpet of snow creating a pristine environment. I can only imagine from your vantage what beauty await those who have not joined you, Bunny and Donald.

The tears were met with memories of your loving contribution made 40 years ago as I remember mother calling me to tell me you had gone away. Daddy, you were so young 49, and after all these years your smile and laughter are ever present.  You are still a strong  moral thread woven into many lives of young men and women; children you mentored; your values continue because of the generosity of your love.  You set the standards: "Never Shame Your Name". Daddy your name is encased in respect.  I am proud to be your daughter and continue to live by the wisdom you so inspired in my soul.

"Rats live in sewers; I would rather be a mustang or an eagle"
I promise you, I will continue to soar and as for my whinny; the nostrils flare as I run through the pasture of living.

Ecclesiastes:  3:1-8  I now understand this passage.

Keep sailing into the sunset.
I love and miss you.  I am a strong woman; You and mother created the foundation I stand on.
Patty
