Happy Birthday, Daddy!

To this day . . . we don't know what the heck he was holding in his hands when this picture was taken . . .

My father, who died in 1995, would have been 87 today.

Dad, I know you are still watching out over me, and especially your two grandkids. Please continue to pray for our sakes. I know Mom is with you, and say hi to Uncle Mike, and Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Billy and Aunt Marie for me.

Also, keep two other people in your prayers who share this birthday with you - Jonathan Koretzky (geez, I bet you and his Dad never thought he'd be that big a guy, huh?) and my lovely friend, Imelda Castaneda, she of pure heart.

I love and miss you, Daddy.  You were a wonderful father.
