Family Time


As it is the holidays, our thoughts go to our families. I came along well after their wedding, but at least I am able to enjoy my parents wedding picture.

My father was 45 years old when I was born, so I only knew him in middle and old age. Now that I have reached a similar age to the age I knew my father, I am struck by how I look more like him as time passes. It makes me feel good to think of my father when I look in the mirror.

Alas, I don't know his 5k time.

Speaking of family, thanks to my daughter for sending me a cool CD full of nice indie tunes. I especially like "Young Folks" by the Swedish band Peter, Bjorn, and John, so I've posted the YouTube video.

Our Father was a hard working, kind, loving and gentle man...who adored you.
Nice thoughts for when you look in the mirror.
I do agree, you look and are very much like him.
