Once more I find myself in the position of posting something rather sad to OurEcho. After a long battle with Parkinson’s, my father passed away on January 11th.

Though death is rarely a welcome visitor, my father is certainly in a far better place than he had been the last two months without my mother. The last year and a half were very difficult for both my parents. But 70+ good years measured against a couple of tough ones is a pretty good deal and one they were quick to acknowledge. I can now rest much easier knowing they are together.

I’m not sure where I am today – kind of numb I guess. But over the next few weeks, I’ll get some sleep and get back to things including OurEcho.
