Sixty-five years ago today
my father left this earth.
A victim of an accident
while flying his small airplane.
Leaving us all behind,
suddenly we were alone.
My mom a widow, and me
fatherless at age five.
Fate or circumstances or
God's will...whatever it was
doesn't change the reality
of many lonely years for our family.
My mom finally rejoined
my father three years ago.
Now my sweet aunt Gladys at age 95
(the mom in photo above)
on June 11, 2010 has joined them.
Separated by death from her
sweetheart after 40 years of
marriage. A reunion has
come for this loving couple.
