Today...

I found another picture of my parents that I just love. It was taken after my dad's first heart attack. He needed to stop smoking so he grew a beard and convinced himself that he would light his face on fire if he smoked. It worked for him.

I was at a local restaurant with all eight of my grandchildren today. It was touch and go for a few minutes...but I survived. Actually...they were pretty good considering they were all excited to see each other, so I'm not complaining...much.

I found out yesterday that a lady I've known for twenty years has cancer. They had her in surgery for another problem and found late-stage cancer. She is my age. It really makes you pause and consider life. It's a little too deep a subject for me to write at the moment, so I'll save it for another day. All I can do is pray that she doesn't suffer too much and that her family will be comforted.
