Dad turned 86 this past Thursday. It turned out that we made a road trip to Nederland for the funeral of my aunt that day. This photo was taken at the luncheon for the family after the services. As you can see, Dad enjoyed a full sized plate of the homemade desserts provided by the church ladies. (I sampled several myself.)
He’s made an amazing recovery from his heart attack earlier this year. But being at my aunt’s funeral was a stark reminder that he and my 80-year old uncle are the last survivors of that generation in my family. I’m glad to have still him in my life!
