I love the photo you posted--the way he's posed is amazing: so strong and confident looking. I was listening to the Diane Rehm show today, which was all about the death of one's parents. She had a guest on who was talking about her new book focused on "death benefits." Sounds strange, I know, but you might find the conversation and/or the book valuable...maybe even comforting in some way. love, lauraLaura Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847877.post-33563626677440709342008-05-05T05:52:00.000-05:002008-05-05T05:52:00.000-05:00Thinking of you in Carbondale at this difficult time.

I love that you posted this picture. <BR/><BR/>Having just lost my dad in December, I know of a hurting heart. I keep on my buffet a picture of Dad laughing at his granddaughter's wedding, the way I want to remember him.
