thank you, Douglas. That means a lot. I did wonder whether I should share this and several of my other older pieces here. But this is such a vibrant, thoughtful audience, I took the chance.

And your comment helps me realize it was a good choice.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Beautiful story of someone who could have given up, yet refused and in return gave life to others. We should all be so determined.

thanks so much, Cherie. Indeed. The fact he didn't give up was an inspiration to all of the family and, frankly, all of our small town.

Geoff - I can’t tell you how much your story about Dr G (as I always called him) touched me. I’ve never seen any of the photos except one. You are a master story teller. Keep the stories coming!

I love your story. Such a beautiful and heartwarming reflection, wonderfully narrated with great images, on your father.
