Family

Warning: This one will be serious...

Family is something that I am extremely thankful for! The last few months has really put life and family into perspective for me. My Papa died on Friday, and I am getting ready to go to Flagstaff to see family I haven't seen in years; I just wish that my Papa would be there with all of us. He would have loved being with all of us together. I think the last time that happened was for his surprise 75th birthday...he was 82 when he died.

My Papa was such a loving man. I have such fond memories of him from very early in life...all the way to the last time I saw him, just a few months ago. He was proudly watching my Uncle Tom (his oldest son) be inducted into Brophy's Hall of Fame for basketball. He was so proud of his kids and grandkids.

This is just a reminder that life here on earth is short. Don't keep putting off anything in hopes that you will have time tomorrow.
