Thank you to each of my friends that I feel close enough to that I can think out loud in front of. Thank you for overlooking the foolish words I sometimes say and listening to my heart.

Recently we visited Sea World and I was very impressed by the talent there. Both the animals and the trainers were intriguing to watch and very professional. I am thankful for people who have unique talents and use them wisely.

Some time ago I went through a very low time emotionally. One day when I came home from work and opened the mailbox at the end of our driveway as usual; inside was a note from our oldest daughter “I love you Daddy”! It brought me to tears and I have saved the letter and when I feel low I take it out and read it. May each one be blessed with a family that needs them.

I am sure most parents are familiar with the roller coaster of emotions that goes with losing a child in a large crowd and then finding them. I am thankful for all of our experiences that have turned out right.
