So far so good

I want to get back to my memories of my Dad, but first just a quick note. My niece "k" had the first surgery on her heart yesterday and is doing better than they ever could have hoped for. She is a fighter!!
The other day I was thinking about a letter that had been printed in a newspaper about a fly over from the air base he was close to. He was upset because it was so loud. What he didn't know was that they were headed to fly over a cemetary where one of our brave men was being layed to rest. It reminded me of when we were standing at Dad's grave just after it had been dedicated. We looked up into the sky to see the jets from the air base flying over. Just a chance thing but the one then dropped out of formation. How very touching to see that as we were laying our lost one to rest. The men flying that day will never know what them doing their job ment to us. I will forever think of Dad when I see those jets. Thank you for you service, and keeping us free, to say and feel what we want.

I am glad K is doing so well. She already is a miracle baby... here's more prayers that she will CONTINUE to be!

As for the story on your dad, do you like Josh Grobon? His song "To Where You Are" comes to my mind. What a great experience for such a sad time.

That is so awesome about the formation.
I am glad that K is doing so well. How is mom and sis holding up? I bet it is hard on them as well. I bet moreso for mom. I wish I could so something for them.
