Today I noticed that our Lilacs in the backyard were blooming and it reminded me of Dad. We decided to pick some and take it to his grave. Dad loved the smell of Lilacs. I hope you enjoy your Lilacs Dad!! Love you!

The Special Person You Were Meant to Be
(This quote was special to dad)
If you can value truth above approval, and friendship over power, wealth, or fame~ If you can share your gifts and talents wisely, leaving someone better off than when you came~ If you find happiness in simple pleasures, and see the rainbow, not the falling rain~ If you have faith to keep right on believing in miracles that no one can explain~ If you live every day to your potential, and find the good in everything you see~ Then you'll be, not just happy and successful, but the person only you were meant to be.
