A grief experienced and shared

Meet my Dad

Grief and Longing are part of the Christian walk.

As is true in every season, The Lion walks beside us

Meekness as a masterpiece. dad

I learned to treat every person with the gentleness of my father.

My practice of law was influenced by two things from dad:

his brilliance in crafting legal theories; his gentleness with everyone, no matter their stature or rank.

The What-Ifs

of grief

What if Mom’s call got through?

What if the O2 didn’t run out?

All things worked together to bring me to dad in every emergency of the past.

This time, all things worked together to keep us away…

Giving mom and dad their precious time and space to say goodbye.

A final touch this side of eternity, and a story to give to our faith community.
