This is a photo of a painting titled "Reflections" of the Vietnam Wall in Washington. This photo brought tears to my eyes and put an ache in my heart. Vietnam was a war nobody wanted and our citizens did not treat the returning soldiers from this most unpopular war kindly. The painting inspired this story retold at http://www.pointmanok.org/poem.htm.
Of all the memorials I've visited this one touches me the most.Later.
Happy Birthday to the United States of America... the land that I love.

Week 9: February 26 — March 4, 2011Good thing we are still in San Diego as the transmission on the truck went out. The repair guy told us there was a 90% chance that the problem was minor. No such luck for us. When they pulled the transmission, they discovered it required a complete rebuild for a mere $3k. Updated my resume because now I need to work.

Those we loved are never really lost to us.
We feel them in so many special ways...
Through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind.
In the beauty, trust and humor they added to our days.
In their words of wisdom and faith we still carry with us.
In memories of times together that never will be forgotten...
... How I'd love, love, love to dance with my Father again.
I've always loved this song by Luther Vandross and Richard Marx. It continues to bring a smile to my face as memories of my dad fills my heart. I miss you, Dad.
I used the collaboration kit “When Friends Meet” by Vicki's AWP and Sweet Blossom Designs.
