Dad-- memories of you
💕So, Dad, here we are to say goodbye for now. You always talked about the idea that life wasn’t about reaching a destination, but instead, that life was a journey to be enjoyed while appreciating the small things along the way…And you certainly lived a fulfilling, impactful life where you did appreciate the little things, like when you would draw my attention to the hospital window to notice the clouds, or the birds, or how blue the sky was. You talked about the water and the waves you could see at South St. beach, which, I guess, came from your love of swimming at Big Glace Bay, where the cool, sometimes frigid temperatures of the ocean water was never even a deterrent for you. Maybe it was the solitude that came with those after supper swims when the beach was nearly empty, but whatever it was, many of your children and grandchildren share that love of ocean waves and the peace that comes with a late day beach trip. Yet I don’t think any of us has mastered your ability to float...
