I was almost born on my dad's birthday July 6th.
He'd have been 94 years old today, but he died just
before his 29th birthday. Sixty-five long years ago.
Almost as long as I have lived. I was only 5 yrs. old
when he made his sudden unexpected departure from life.
I think of him now and then, wondering how he is.
What it will be like to meet him one day as a grownup.
I hope he is proud of my life and accomplishments
and his four grown grandsons who are his posterity
that he never met. I know he watches over us all.
