As I was walking one of my puppies this morning at 5:30 am I thought of my Dad because there was a beautiful full moon and I remember that one of Dad's favorite time was when he was on the bridge of his sub and there was a full moon shining over the silent ocean.
He also loved to come out to the SW desert and walk in the desert sands. He always found a great walking stick and I still have the last one he had from his last visit.
There are so many great memories that I have and I know Dad is still watching over me as he has always done and I even bet that he has a full audience up in Heaven and he is telling some great Navy stories (just hope they have not heard them already-even though that did not matter at all to Dad).
I hope I can meet alot of you at his memorial on August 21st.
