My visit to Resurrection Cemetery on February 17th to honor my Dad.

Dad 2014

He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

— Clarence Budington Kelland

I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it here again. If your father is still alive, call him today and tell him you love him. Or tell him “thanks.” Or just say hello. One of these days, you’ll wish you had another opportunity.

If your father isn’t alive but your mother is, call her and tell her you love her. Or tell her “thanks.” Or just say hello. One of these days, you’ll wish you had another opportunity.

Annual reminders are good. They help us remember those things that we should never forget.
