My father and mother have both passed away after wonderful, blessed, long lives. I am grateful for all that they provided for me and for their love and support. I don’t think about them everyday — but still very often. And each year at this time, they are on my mind in important ways. My father’s birthday is May 4th and their anniversary is June 22nd. More significantly as we’ve just celebrated Memorial Day, my father served in the Navy in World War II. He never spoke much about his service, but I know that his life was changed forever by the sacrifices he made and the bravery, courage, and death he saw during his service.
