For Pop...

Good Morning, Gentle Readers!

Today's image is titled Here's To You, Pop. As you can see, it has absolutely nothing to do with the picture's appearance. But it has everything to do with today's post.

My husband and I got some news yesterday about his father; He has died, and probably had died Tuesday. The coroners think he had a stroke or heart attack while he was alone in his home. I will not speculate on what his last thoughts were- But I do hope he took some comfort in knowing we were somewhere nearby.

He was a loving man, and his boys were the biggest joy in his life. In his youth, he ran a bakery. It wasn't so much a specialty shop as a factory for making bread- but it was work he enjoyed, and he did it until he retired.

We do have pictures of him and his wife- a lovely, frail-seeming lady. Randy has one of her cups, and he drank his morning coffee from it this morning. I think I will pack the photo album too, while getting us ready to attend the memorial.

Until We Meet, Gentle Readers...
